I don't agree.
Flying out to look at a car costs aheluva lot more than driving over to someone's house to see if the car's as good as advertised.
If you're not familiar with the area that the seller lives, how do you know who to trust to do the PPI? There are bad dealer service departments out there. And how do you know if you actually like driving the car? Maybe you can't get comfortable in it, or maybe the ride is too hard or the exhaust is too loud. I've seen (and taken) pictures of cars that look great, but in person, it's not so great. Light oxidation and minor dings and dents in the body simply don't show up in pictures.
