Stop in for a cup of coffee
I'm in Tucson
It should be a simple process the guy shouldn't have to make a special bank account for me to deposit money if he's that worried about it he shouldn't be selling it I don't get it I bought a few cars over the years.
and met no one like him as far as being nervous like that.

But it's not good to travel across the country with that much cash... He's in NY and the car is in OR - he's going across the country...
Get a certified check from a national bank that has locations in both areas so the seller can go cash it at the same bank that the buyer deposited it in...
Or would just open an account at the national bank in my name and have the deposit free and clear for the date of the sale... Alert the local bank manager there before hand that you are buying a car and will need to take out that much cash so they can have it available...
Fly out there, inspect the car, draw up the sale papers, have verified clean title, go to the bank, buyer withdraws the cash, seller receives the cash and sale papers completed and signed with the witness of the bank.... Some banks offer notary if necessary...
I would be more comfortable with the money in his name (the buyer) with access at a bank local to the seller than trying to travel across the country with that kind of cash... Just do a search on youtube on TSA agents caught stealing cash out of baggage and you will see what I mean... That way if he decides not to buy it, he has the option to back out and the seller can't mess with his money... If the account is put in the seller's name, what if he refuses to refund the money???
Then he can drive it to the shipping company and they take possession of it until it arrives back at his place and he takes possession... The seller is now done with the deal and the buyer good to go...[/QUOTE]
