I've done this about 15 times in the last year. I got burned once. Guy went bankrupt right after I sent payment. I'm in the collection mode. Two times, the the people were able to drive the car out to Michigan, from Jersey (car broke something in driveline three days I bought it) and Delaware (I paid $100 to have Delaware Saab inspect it first. Best Car I bought). One time, I had the car shipped. Other times, I rented the car one way and drove them back. Two of those occations, I 'barely made it back', as the cars were not road-worthy. The thing to do is to have hte car inspected by known Saab Shop. Also, if you are paying up front, have them send the title to you, if you are going to pick-up the car after you pay. Shipping is another option, but kinda expensive. I have a pretty good source, if needed.
Best of Luck,
James from Michigan
