Need advice buying a car long distance

Thank you gentlemen for your post here. I am thinking about purchasing an early Dart wagon In Southern California so that I don’t have to worry about the rust issues, but I am not confident with how to deal with paying for the car and getting it shipped to Florida and having the title delivered to me. Would it be best to go through my bank (loan) if the same bank exists in Southern California, Wells Fargo?

I'm considering a purchase that's on the other side of the country. I've never bought long distance before, can those who have done so help out with the details?

How was payment handled? How did you obtain the title? If you used a transporter to get the car delivered, who did you use and what was your opinion of the company?

I would plan, at the least, to have an inspection done on the car before committing to the deal. Anything else you can think of on the transaction?

@halfafish. How did your car purchase come out?
