I'd be dubious too for all the obvious reasons, though I have done it in the past fairly frequently. Mind you, thinking about it now, it's always been with dealers that I have some contact with, knowledge of, or a trusted recommendation. I don't think I'd risk it with a new firm I found on the internet.
My further issue is that I rarely know what I want. I tend to go to places which have got stuff, push, prod and touch, and then see what takes my fancy. Often it is not what I thought it was going to be.
But then,as I mentioned elsewhere, I am not a big spender on cars so I guess mostly my risk is lower.
