In addition, I'd never buy without seeing.

The most disappointing car I ever went to see (and also the furthest away and most expensive I've visited) was a 5 year old (at the time) Mk1 C70 convertible with 27k miles. Dealer said it has some minor marks on the front bumper - talk about being economical with the truth... It was an absolute shed and had a huge dent in the sill amongst many other things.... I ended up buying my C70 coupe of twice the age for 1/3 of the price and 4 times the mileage and it was certainly more than twice the car!
I never bother with eBay auctions unless the seller is very close by, because I don't want to bid blind and frankly I don't have time to waste visiting cars I may get outbid on. Photo's hide a multitude of sins. "They all do that sir!" mine did that, replaced it and about a year later it was starting to balloon again... Not a real problem unless it's more than a minor weep.
