What are some pre-meeting things I can do to try to get clued in that I'm not in for something bad? I've talked to the seller at length and in detail about the vehicle, we've been exchanging a lot of texts to further our discussion including him sending all the photos I've asked for including a photo of the vin # on the title which matches the vehicle's description. Noting tips me of that this guy is nothing but on the up and up, I'm just a nervous person.

I Need to get his full name and Facebook stalk which would aid in my vetting.

Edit to say "get full name and Facebook stalk".

I think if you start asking about his personal media accounts, he's going to start questioning meeting up with you at all. Have him park it, come up with an excuse for being 10-15 min late, and then by the time y'all are through talking about the vehicle, asking questions, etc, it will be cooled down from operating temp

Ask for too much and he'll get concerned of your intentions and start to second guess the whole deal. If you've actually spoken to him over the phone, he's willingly sent any info/pics/details you'd need then there's no reason to doubt his legitimacy. If there's no way to meet and cold start it in a public place then just go to his house or wherever works best. Shame it has to be this way but people can be weird. If you end up having to go to his house bring someone along, screen shot his number/text and forward someone his address. That way if something happens police will atleast have a decent lead on where to search for your dead body.
