So I have I'm looking to sell a sporty car here at some point. The car would be listed around 20k+. The questions I have are: 1.) What do you consider an acceptable payment method (assuming non-cash)? Bank check? Wait to clear? 2.) Test drive. This isn't a 2 or 3k clunker that I could care less about. I'm just worried about the type of people that are only looking to drive fast and walk away. |

I've never been in that position but if I were:
1. If they can get a $20K check, they can get $20K cash. Might have to go to their bank & confirm an electronic transfer, maybe? Either way, noone gets nothin until I'm satisfied the money is in my hand or in my account. A fancy piece of paper with numbers don't get it done. 2. Go on test rides. Make it clear abusive driving of your car will not be tolerated. |

No half now / half later - no ' deposit' - no 'I'll pay you the rest when I get paid' - no payment plan - no I'll pay part of it now and paypal you the rest when I get home, etc - stick to your guns :o) 2) Test drive - I don't know about that  |

Test drive is easy, you ride along on the test drive. Certified bank check if not cash. I'd certainly prefer cash but looking to know my best options. I just bought a new vehicle at a dealer with a certified bank check, they didn't have an issue with it, you shouldn't either. I'd have it drawn on a local bank or CU if you're worried about that and you can always call and verify it if you want to. |

You can go to their bank and the bank can write the check with you there and you can sign over the title. |

When we've done this, we met up with buyers at their bank. They test drove the car. Decided to buy. We went inside and a certified check was issued. The good part is banks always have a notary, so title can be signed over and witnessed on the spot.
You leave with check. Buyer leaves with car and title. Everyone is safe and legal. |

How about instances where the potential buyer is from out of state and has no branches near? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Immediately negotiable cashiers check. Do the transaction at the bank, that way you know the check is real. Title sign, check exchange. Lots of cameras and witnesses. This...your bank/CU may call the issuing bank when you deposit but no bid deal. No way would I do cash for that amount... Test drive? Use your gut when he or she talking about the car, initial meeting. Ride along for sure. Hell, have a buddy come over to help watch things. |
