Well I've been looking for a Saleen S351 for quite some time and finally came across an actual deal on one, so I bought it a couple days ago on Ebay.
I paid the guy a $500 deposit.
The car's in Maryland, and I'm in Texas.
Now what?
I don't want to drive it back, since I don't really know it's road-worthiness.
My current thinking is to hire a transport to bring it home.
What's the best way to handle the payoff/title exchange/taking possession in this instance to insure I don't get ripped off?
Obviously if I went there it wouldn't be an issue.
But if I don't (don't want to add to the acquisition cost by flying up there), it complicates things.
If I send him the balance of payment, then what's to keep him from keeping the money, car, and title?
Should I ask him to send me the title before sending final payment?
I don't really see a risk free way to do this.
