Safest way would be to send a cashiers check or do a direct bank to bank wire transfer. I agree with the above advice of driving the car home. Last car I bought was a Subie SVX and I bought it in NH, I live in CA drove it home in 3 days, 3300 miles

I've done both, but in both case I called their bank and the seller in a 3 way conference call and had the seller authorize the bank to tell me that they are actually well established customers at the bank. Hope that makes sense, any way the point is don't just wire or send someone you know nothing about. If they are a business get references, do some investigation first.
