Not even used car salesmen require an offer before seeing the car, and even not only running the engine, but having a test drive as well. How do I know? I've bought and sold more cars than boats, and am in the process again right now.

If you are using a broker, have them make the offer. I would advise against making the offer directly to the listing broker. In my experience the broker will require a deposit of 10% of the accepted offer. This is normal. But sending money to a broker you don't know is risky. Many articles I've read about scams suggest this is how it starts. If you pay the deposit and later decide to walk away, your deposit gets returned. Good luck.
