I see more on the West Coast, but that’s too far for me.

Even if I saw what looked like a perfect car, there’s no way I’d travel out just to inspect, so there’d be no way to confirm it as such.

Yeah, yeah... I agree, these cars are not worth that much and neither is 60s porsche.. Whatever, everything is overpriced..fact. I just paid $11K sight unseen for a 104K manual ZHP in july and I'm already $1100 tax and registration and $6500 in suspension refresh, alignments, complete brake system redo, oil pan gasket, Alcantara interior swap, new tires, fresh bolts and not even done. So whatever!
Do I detect a bit of buyer’s remorse? ; )
It’s funny how everybody thinks the prices of the things we’re buying are too high, but the price for what we’re selling (typically, our labor) is too low. With the government giving away trillions, just wait...

How about talking on the phone to the seller, getting a measure of his honesty, and having him take it to a mechanic you chose for a PPI before committing to buy it, contingent upon you flying out and seeing it? I've purchase 5-6 cars in this exact way and then drove them back, all without incidents beyond what one should expect from older and/or high mileage cars. And I've enjoyed each experience immensely.
Maybe, the right car would induce me to do such a thing, but you’re a braver man than I.
