Default Advice wanted on buying from a distance

After having missed buying a 2002 2720sl located in Arizona that was in great shape for under $10,000 to another buyer in New Zealand by only a few days, I want to be able to buy another quickly but still do some due diligence from afar to make sure I'm not being taken. I have found a 2001 2720sl for an excellent price. Problem is, it's located a long distance(over 1,500 Miles) from me. The price is good enough where I could justify traveling to look it over but if there is a less expensive and quicker way I'm interested.

Questions I have are:

1. Is there a service that you can buy that looks a trailer over for you and provides an appraisal? Would like to do this before shelling out for airfare to check it out myself. Any alternatives other than traveling there yourself?

2. Any of you have any experience have trailers delivered or renting a TV to haul your trailer home? Least expensive delivery services?
Haven't really gone far enough yet to get any bids (awaiting some) but based upon initial investigation it looks like getting someone to deliver 1,700 miles might be costly - up to several thousand $.

3. Any other pertinent advice or experience related to buying a trailer long distance?
