The list goes on. Escrow can be complicated and put a buyer off, but it is safe. The biggest issue is, does the seller have the title on hand. If not, there will have to be two contracts, a bill of sale (obviously) and a separate agreement that the seller agrees to pay off the loan with the check from you or your bank and send you the title within X amount of days.
c) fly there, pick it up and drive it back. OR have it shipped to you (which I do not recommend without seeing it in person).

That's exactly how I sold my last car. Forum member contacted me, we exchanged a bunch of email and I send many pictures of the car
He had a local dealership do an inspection, which he paid for over the phone.
He flew out to me, I picked him up at the airport, and we went to my bank to cash the check. I signed the title over, and he drove home.
