[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 1015474, member: 69241"] First time in my life I bought a car unseen about a year ago (not a Sport Trac) and had it shipped from upstate NY to TX. I had intended to view the car myself but could not work it out with seller so I took a chance on it. The shipping part is easily done on the web; there are thousands of cars on carriers moving around the country daily. For pre-purchase actions you'll definitely want to check out the CarFax or AutoCheck, plus ask seller what maintenance records he has. Ask for some pictures. An organized seller will have some good quality pictures set up in a web location (like Dropbox) that you can view; ask for some to be emailed if not. Do a web search for someone who does pre-purchase inspections in that area, or a shop. For a purchase like this what you're really looking at is the Seller, not so much the car. [/QUOTE]
