I bought my car on Ebay sight-unseen and the best advice I can give you is spend the money on the plane ticket and go see the car.
My car was on its second owner. The guy was trying to jump title because he got the car in a trade and his buddy that sells boats said he could do it. I really don't think the guy lied about anything, he just didn't know. His idea of "a few minor scratches" and mine were quite different. Also, although the car had was originally built excellent, maintenance over the last few years must have really gotten lax.
It's a great car and I'm glad I bought it, but from what the guy told me on the phone, I assumed I was going to be able to hop in and drive it. That wasn't the case. BTW...I did have a third party look at the car before I bought it and was given a thumbs up. When I confronted the third party about the problems after the fact, he said it was impossible to inspect everything. In all actuality, he was probably correct, but then again, I caught them later.
Good luck!
