appraisal services

[DLK]

I am seriously interested in a car in Las Cruces, New Mexico a long way from Minnesota. Has anyone here had experience with some of the appraisal services out in the internet? Even if I paid $500 it is less than the cost for me to fly to El Paso, rent a car and do my own inspection. One national network of appraisers (autoappraise.com) quotes $365 plus $65/hour travel. It looks like they produce a thorough report with pictures. Having been badly burned buying a car sight unseen on e-bay once I am not about to repeat that mistake, especially when this car costs three times what I paid that time. I'd settle for something less thorough if I could find it for less money.
