Found a car on Ebay…. How do you make sure you get it?

Like I need another car....

But I found this car on Ebay that is Vancouver, WA., 2389 miles from my house. I am thinking of breaking my own rules and buying this ride sight unseen. It's not a Mopar, so sorry for the brand x post. It looks good in the pictures, guy sounds honest on the phone, says he will help with the shipper, yada yada yada.

How do I send my money 2400 miles away and hope I get the car? I was thinking of just flying out there paying for it and staying till the transporter comes, but those guys can take weeks to pick it up. I can't drive it back in the winter, if it's summer I would.

I was thinking of wiring him the money, at least that way I would have his banking info in case I get scammed. He doesn;t like the escrow idea, can't blame him. I wouldn't want my car 2400 miles from home without getting paid for it.

Any Suggestions?
