Thats pretty much how I bought me soon 2 be 2 wagons. My first one is a local classified that I called about right away, I went there when he said he would be available, looked it over, and gave him half the cash up front. I paid the balance a couple days later an acquired the title and keys. Took about a month to get it registered because of probate court, etc, but in the end it was worth the wait. In my case I worked around his schedule, And paid asking price, which was a steal.
My new purchase as of last week is similar. 95 Caprice being sold for parts, I went, I looked, I paid him. Now I just have to get it home.
It also depends how honest the seller wants to be. In the case of the first wagon, the seller gave me first dibbs on it because I called first, he had several other potential buyers (one of which called while I was paying him for the car) and he held off on them until I had my time with it.
