Ya, definitely agree with being cautious of distant purchases... I've been lucky, but that's not always the case. Sometimes, brand-specific forums can be a great help too. For instance, the tdiclub.com forum has a list of trusted mechanics that know exactly what to look for on a used VW TDI that you can call upon whether the car is local or not... for a fee, of course but well worth it.
For non-local craigslist searches, try out
SearchTempest - The EASY way to search Craigslist... a very nice craigslist aggregator (and includes ebay results too).
