We went through a dealership and wired the full amount... quite trusting now I think about it, but thought it was better to buy from a dealer than a private sale.
If you're driving back, remember to get all the paper work to the border 72 hours before you cross and it has to be to the border you cross at. Bit of a process but definitely worth the savings. Also a great road trip!
Also if you don't know, the car has to be registered in the States for at least 6 months - you're buying used. Not sure if this is still the case but I remember it being so when we bought.
Hope that helps!
