Even if all the above checked out, its still a gamble as different in person vs pics. The gamble being air fair and time. Have to be prepared to lose both.

To say the seller made him fly out is a bit much. But yes of course seller is still a douche and sucks op had to go through it.
Yeah, but the guy would have known that his car wouldn't pass an inspection by a panel beater, and said to them "honestly, it may not hold up to inspection". By saying "yes, it's worth flying over for", he lied to them, and that lie swayed their decision to fly over. He didn't force them to, but he certainly influenced them to do so.
