Selling a car to private party (cashier's check? bank check? need advice)
I am about post an ad to sell my old car to a private party.
My biggest worry is a scam with a cashiers or personal check. I am certain that most people won't agree to cash ($5000-$6000). What can I do to ensure that I get a legitimate payment for my vehicle. |

Maybe a bank wire transfer? That is risky since they can use your account information to suck your account dry. Money orders might be just as risky, but you can normally cash them at a bank with doing a deposit, so maybe it is safe as long as they give you the cash back? Or would traveler's checks be better? -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.

Simple - you drive your car, with the buyer, to the buyers bank and get
him/her to buy you a bank cheque (or give you cash IF you can deposit it in that bank) David wrote: > I am about post an ad to sell my old car to a private party. > My biggest worry is a scam with a cashiers or personal check. > I am certain that most people won't agree to cash ($5000-$6000). > What can I do to ensure that I get a legitimate payment for my vehicle. |
