When I was searching for a car, I found that pictures are very deceptive....just like pics of women, pics of cars are taken with the intent of showing the vehicle's best features. One 39 coupe that I found had really nice pictures so I drove 100 miles to touch it in person. Well, the pics were nice but the body had newspapers stuffed into the qtr panels with bondo applied over the paper. The tool box area couldnt hold tools because the wrench would fall thru the rust holes. No way would I ever buy a car sight unseen....unless it was so cheap as to be worth the risk.

In my experience, I found a car across the country. Just so happened that I had a friend who owned the same model car and lived nearby....he took over 100 pictures for me and judged the car relative to his. Since I trusted his inspection, it was a low risk deal.

In summary, DONT buy something unless you touch it OR someone you trust touches it. Like the others say, there are lots of cars closer to you. It may take a year but when you find the right one, you will know it. Decide what you want BEFORE you search.....for instance, the sedan is really contradictory with a fat column and funny dash clashing with a stock exterior and interior.....is that your "style"? If so, put it on your list for consideration. Start a spreadsheet of potential cars and list their pros and cons and price.
