the list that has purchased via email, phone, and pics? Experience, good or 
bad?

I purchased one of my cars from a gentleman who was in the UK, and I am 
extremely happy with my decision.  I of course had the seller send me photos 
of everything.  I got photos from the front, side, back, top, bottom, 
interior, in evening lighting, in morning lighting, close up, etc., you get 
the picture.  I believe it was over 50 pictures when it was all said and 
done. I also asked for a list of all known problems (you're taking their 
word, but what other options do you have).  I also asked for proof of title, 
registration, etc.  When I got the car, it was just as I expected.  My advise 
is to get as many photos of the car as you can.  Be a pain in the @#%.  If 
they are not willing to provide you with the requested additional 
information, they are probably hiding something.  You can see pictures of my 
vehicles on my webpage.  

Good luck.
