I have only done it once and was extremely satisfied but that is a gross exception to the case as you are taking a huge risk anytime you buy sight unseen. For the cost of a seasoned inspector you are doing yourself a huge favor by having it inspected and in most every case a good inspector will be able to get you enough information to at the very least negotiate the price of the car to cover the cost of the inspection. At least then you are breaking even but know what you are getting. Best case scenario that same inspector will prevent you from spending money on junk. You are out the fees but are not stuck with a car you had not bargained on. Over the years I have come to a point that I simply do not trust photos. The photographer can avoid bad areas or can hide so much in a photo that you simply will not see it and if you try and sue those photos are his way out. Hire an inspector. Money WELL spent!
