I bought a car unseen last July. As well as Googling the dealer's Companies House records, I looked at their premises on Google Street View and found some reviews with a Google search.
The car's been fine; I suppose the only risk there was that Google might not be bona fide...
Also, the dealer I work for has been selling cars to remote clients throughout lockdown. We simply have a contract which says they have 14 days to change their mind for any reason and we'll come and collect it and issue a full refund (minus £1 per mile covered after 20 miles). No-one's changed their mind yet. This is on both brand new cars and classic sports cars, so there must be something in it.
