I once was the winning bid for a GTO about 8 hours from me. It was advertised with no rust. After I won the seller was nervous to find out I was coming to pick it up my self and not sending a transport company. I drove the 8 hours with cash in hand. When I arrived and looked the car over I noticed it had a lot of cancer that was not visible from the pictures. Needless to say I did not take the car home.

I would never use western union for any vehicle purchase. I would only show up with certified check or cash and make sure what I am buying is what I expect. Just my 2 cents.
