In my case it comes down to reputation, and I am a known entity with a proven track record, you as the overseas buyer does not. In this day and age of internet scam, buying or selling with unknown individuals has truly become a risky business. Third party companies have popped up for this, but even their track record has flaws (read their liability T's and C's, several have gotten caught 2-4 weeks after the car has left after being paid for), which is why I suggest the pre-purchase inspection, and the bank to bank wire transfers. Gives traceable steps to keep the true scams from happening to either party and has not failed me yet in dozens of overseas deals both as a buyer and a seller.
