I'm looking at purchasing a model 3 that is about 800 miles away. Flying there to pick it up is off the table (not within my control) so my only option is a remote inspection and shipping company. Tell me why this is ok or if I should just avoid this and find something more local. I've had a lot and back and forth with the seller, gotten a lot of pictures and hasn't balked at any question I've asked (pictures, range calcs, condition etc). The car only has about 13k on it so plenty of warranty left. I'm mechanical guy so woudl feel completely confident looking over the car if I was there in person, but without that option, I'm not exactly sure where to go here. My thought was a third party inspection like this and then shipping the car as my only options if I actually want this car. Adds 1k to the price, so just wondering what peoples thoughts were assuming you had a good gut feel based on interaction with the seller.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
