Feel Defeated - Buying Sight Unseen?

Hola,

So it happened again, and I'm exhausted from the search. I just drove 3 hours, one way, to view a CPO 3.3 Sport Prestige that was priced so perfectly. I was told this morning that they would put a reserved sticker on there for me as I would be heading up after work. Lo and behold, I get there and the car was sold 1 hour before I arrived. I spoke to the sales rep right before I had left, 2 hours before the car was sold, and they assured me that the car was still there waiting for me.

This is the second time this has happened. I was so happy because its so hard to find a CPO 3.3 SP near me. I have my range on Auto Trader set at 400 miles and I get like 3 results, all of which are insanely priced, or higher mileage.

So now I am entertaining the idea of buying out of state and having it shipped to me. I would never do this on a straight out "Used" car, but I feel like since it would be a CPO vehicle, there is a little more certainty there. This also opens up more options, such as getting the color combo I want and the AWD drivetrain.

Am I being unreasonable in thinking this way?
