long distance buying advice?

Looking at used Boxster S. It's at Porsche dealer in Eastern PA but it is too far away to drive to inspect in person.

What do people typically do? buy a 1 way ticket to do the in person inspection and pickup? I did that on my last car but it was a private sale and the guy offered to buy my return ticket if I was not satisfied.

Anyone made the trip and then decide not to buy? did the dealer offer to pay for the return trip?

My main concern is that as I've been driving local cars there is a big difference on cars with the same mileage on how free the engine feels and high tight the body & top still feel. Some cars are just drum tight (no rattles, squeaks or quivers) and on some car the engines just feel muffled/slow like they were never broken in correctly, so even if this car looks good on paper, pictures, and service history it might still be a no go for one of those reasons.

Any other long distance buying advice?

Jeremy
