One interesting idea in that area would be a premium car shopping service. You sign up, and tell them what you want in a car. The site searches all cars advertised online, and recommends cars that meet your criteria, factoring in things like ratings of certain models and pricing guides. It should be able to say things like "This car is priced 10% less than similar cars in your area." Once you sign up and pay a fee, you get a comprehensive package including things like:

1. A full vehicle history report.
2. Detailed information about the make/model that you are considering.
3. Help with financing arrangements if you want to finance the car, so you get unbiased information about how to do that.
4. A local mechanic, hired by the site on a contract basis, will go out and inspect the vehicle before you buy it.
5. If you need to ship the car, the site will refer you to a reputable company that can do that.
