Hey James,

When I bought mine I could not bear the thought of someone running 
off with my money so I went over and did the deal, (took travellers 
cheques, not such a good exchange rate but safe to travel with and 
cash is a fantastic bargaining tool)this also meant I could view 
more than one car and meet the owners. Mine was a top dollar car so 
it worked for me (an investment in the right car for me was 
important)on the other end of the scale if your buying a fixer upper 
then there is more scope for risk taking (lower expectations)

As Martin suggested if you could get a trusted DMLer to help that 
would save the trip.

One of the best ways as far as exchange rate goes was a bank 
transfer (bank transfers once made of course, are irreversible). 
Whilst Escrow is not for everyone it's by far your best bet, the 
terms can be mutually agreed. (depends how bad the seller wants to 
sell to you?) Credit card transactions are tricky, cover for 
purchases is limited and you may also find cover only relates to 
retail purchases.

It's a nerve racking business and not for the faint of heart, the 
journey to port, the crossing, the unloading. (worse than buying a 
house) That said, you will feel very chuffed with yourself when you 
pull it off.
