I live in a small mountain town in Colorado, where I know all the year round
residents, and lots of stuff about them too. That is why I asked for cash
when I sold a car to one of my neighbors. I explained that I "have to have
cash, just because you come from Silverton". He didn't have a problem with
that.
A dealer will take a personal check, credit card, anything. The difference
between a dealer and you, is that the dealer has lawyers on retainer to go
after deadbeats.

Don't even take it then.

Most important.... don't take a certified or any other official check
unless you were at the bank seeing it drawn up. It could be a fake. I meet
the buyer at his bank. Have him get a check written or even consider check
because he can even stop payment on an official bank check. Get notary
stuff done at bank. Wave good bye.

When selling my '93 Honda Accord is it to both parties advantage to go
to the DMV together to transfer title and finalize the deal
(California)? Someone wanted to buy the car off me last night after
driving it around the block. He had the money but I didn't feel
comfortable with his haste. I have a feeling something may happen to
the car before he gets around to going to the DMV and it may be my
problem. Should I insist on going to the DMV together?
