As an auditor by trade, there is no substitute for original 
documentation (your eyes on the car) copies are less reliable (photos, 
video etc.).  The only possible substitute I can see for not putting 
your eyes on the car is to use your list friends to check it out for you 
(known as independent third party confirmation in trade lingo!) and have 
them describe it and take pictures for you -- this way at least the 
pictures will be known to be recent (and not a month before the accident 
the seller "forgot" to disclose) and they can test drive and inform you 
of the oil pressure, running temp, etc.....  Good luck in your search!
