FaceTime is a good idea. Maybe ask him to walk around the vehicle so you can see certain things.
The dealer check out is always a solid option. You get the verification and can get it checked out before you shell out money for a flight.
Lastly, you can always get someone on ih8mud or a friend on Facebook that lives in the area.
Lastly, I bought my 4Runner out of state. I bought it from an independent dealer about 10 hours drive away. I did my research on the dealership and it was easy to see they were a generally reputable dealer with good inventory. My 4Runner was the oldest vehicle on the lot. I got a fair price for it, not good but fair. So don't be afraid to look into SOME dealers. The good ones won't knowingly put crap on the lot in my experiences.
