2023 Acura Integra — buying a car 1,200 miles away without seeing it

2023 Acura Integra A-Spec, about 44,000 miles. A hard-to-find spec is several states away. Dealer has provided video and history, but I have not seen it in person. What is the best remote-buy checklist before sending money? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2023 Acura Integra so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I would not stare at the monthly. Two 2023 Acura Integra quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. Then the comparison gets honest. Do that first. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.
