Having brought most my cars far away some as far as 2000 miles away you can do a couple of things,

One get a independent appraisal they are listed in Hemming motor news
Two get a video of the car the way you want in other word ask him to film the area you want to look at, Most will only photo good areas.
Three get all the paper work in order Title, Bill of Sale, etc.
Four. get a good shipping company that will keep you abreast shipping point to shipping point
