check for multiple posts over a fairly long period of time. With consistent pictures. I'd prefer to put the money down in some inocuous place when her back is turned. Leave your real phone at home and the hobby phone in the car. Turn off your car alarm/remote open (or take the valet key if you have one). Park around back. DL only. And finally, develop spidey sense. If you don't like it, walk away, call her and apolgise, "I've had an accident" (you just shit yourself, you felt so scared) or something.
But I kind of do this for anything I don't feel good about. Selling a car when the car says "sure" without looking at it (he haggled too much after we met), buying a $2200 BFN TV for $600 (it was busted, walked away). Once the guy said "turns out we had an extra set on the truck". (One of the guys with us was a cop, NM but that didn't matter. He casually pulled and "accidentally" flashed his badge while was going for his wallet. They said they'd made a mistake and split)
Remember, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you"
