its quite simple,
email the seller & ask them if they will accept a bid 'On Condition' that the payment be witheld prior to an INSPECTION of an indipendent mechanic (preferably an actual dealer of the manufacturer).
Once your bid wins, ask the seller to send the car to the mechanic of your choosing, once the car gets the passing Grade, arrange for delivery & payment of goods.

There are comapanies that will go visit the seller and do a thorough inspection, complete with pictures, test drive etc. They can't put it on a lift but will photograph the undercarraige, engine bay as well as the interior, exterior of the car.
I had one done on a car I was looking at, cost me $299 but allowed me to make a decision not to buy the car so it was money well spent.
