It's a little bit more work to buy in the USA, and can be much more stressful. The car I bought was 3K KM's away so I had to buy it sight unseen. However, I was likely way more careful than I would have been if I had actually seen the car.

Sight unseen is very risky but hope it works out man. I had some stress with this on one car once and promised myself never to do that again. In the end both the Florida seller and shipper had to compromise and pay for all the defects that showed up on the car despite it being advertized as immaculate. The problem was "immaculate" means different things to different people and I am one very picky guy. Make sure you have lots of pictures on file before shipping...this saved my ass with the shipping company. Good luck and post some pics and your experience after it's all done.
