In 05 I bought my 01 online. I am in KC, the car was in Pittsburgh. (I've actually bought two cars this way, and for some strange reason they were both in Pittsburgh. Weird) Had a PPI done by a dealer there, and had the owner (a dealer) take about a hundred close up pics of every part of the car, from every angle. Everything looked fine, and the PPI was good, so I bought a one way ticket out there and drove it back. All went perfectly. The only thing I didn't have done that I should have, was had it aligned. The tires were newish when I picked it up, but totally and completely worn out when I got home. Bought new tires, got it aligned and it's been fine since. OH.. and driving it home was a blast and a very good way to get to know the car.

If I had to do it again, I would. Just be sure you get a PPI. Maybe someone here is close to where the car is located. You might be able to get them to take a look at it for you before you fly out. But you STILL need a PPI!
