I was curious if anyone here ever purchased a vehicle using escrow.com or another service to pay for the vehicle. If so, how did it go?

I used Buyer Guardian , they were great, even provided some of the DMV stuff. Problem is that they shut down because they were being defrauded by other less legitament companies. Make sure you do your homework before using an escrow service, but that is the safest way to go, provided the company is legit.

Here is a statement from their site "Please check with http://www.escrow-fraud.com or your local Better Business Bureau before using an escrow company. The only other national vehicle escrow service of which we are aware of at this time is Escrow.com (http://www.escrow.com)."
