I hope you aren't implying that a (no doubt helpful) vendor has suggested you use an escrow service? If so, run don't walk away from this deal.
There are scams operating where disposable 'escrow service' websites go up and potential purchasers are incited to 'deposit' funds on the deal in good faith. As soon as a few deals are done, the website disappears along with the seller and the money.
If, on the other hand, what you mean is that you seriously think someone is going to send a car to you on approval, then you must be a funny guy to invite to a barbeque.
Want assurance? Then make time to fly there to see the car and take possession in person, or make arrangements for a dealer to look over the vehicle on your dime and report.
Or sit back in your web chair, take a deep breath and follow your gut. Either just do it or leave it be. Either way you will be right....
I've followed my gut, pulled the trigger seven times and been done over once. And on that one I ought to have known better.
