uh oh, now what

Some of us have those wives that are always thinking we have to many toys. Ok maybe its just me. Anyway she is always telling me I need to sell some of my cars. So every winter I put my Vette on craigslist for a ridiculous price and tell her I'm trying to sell it. Been doing this for at least 4 years now. Well for some reason this year I've got a lot of interest on it. And tomorrow morning there's a guy coming from out of state to actually look at it. Now I would sell it for the price it's listed at but I wasn't expecting this. I didn't clean it up at all from sitting since November.
I've already told him I am not flexible on price at all so if he doesn't want to pay my asking price he is wasting his time looking. I also told him there would be no test drive because of salt on the roads and if the weather is wet the car doesn't come out of the garage.
He's still coming!
Now maybe he won't show which is alright by me but should he be a serious buyer how would you accept payment, Bank Certified check? Cash another method? I'm thinking i would hold the title until I the money is verified and clears. Is that fair? Is there a definite safe method to use to be sure I am good to go?
Thanks Rod


Don't let that vehicle go till you get the cash. No cash no vehicle no cash no title.

They can cry and whine all they want. If you don't get the cash don't let that vehicle go.
If they want to give you a check or money order or any of that other crap. tell him it's not going anywhere until you have the cash in your hand.
Yes then if they tell you that you can take their check and they will come back for the car. Watch out for the old oh I'll write you a check with a few extra hundred so that I can get gas money from you to get back home trick.

if they try something like, that have him get in your car, telling him your taking him down to the bank to make the deposit and withdrawal But take him to the cop station instead.
