That's just sort of the reality of car buying. A buyer in the flesh with cash in hand is worth more than a voice on the phone saying "I'm on my way." The other reality is that good deals don't last very long. If you find a good deal but it's 200 miles away, chances are it'll be gone by the time you can get there. I don't think I'll ever buy another car very far out of town again. I did buy my 300D out of state, even wired a down payment to hold it; I only did that because the seller was a regular on the old mbz.org diesel list and I figured he'd been around long enough to be the real deal.
