(My rules) Some basic rules for selling a car to someone not in your area or even in your area. No money orders or cashier checks...( they are to commonly forged now) CASH WORKS Never take a check for more than the price of the car (they normally want some back in this scam) If the buyer is buying it from the interent or photos but basically unseen and they want delivery it get's sticky. A lot depends on the distance. If it's a ways away demand 50% up front. (non refundable) . If it's within a days (round trip) I ask for at least $500 down (Non refundable) . If the buyer backs out you have your expenses for the trip covered. Another twist. I had a fellow tell me about going to buy a Corvette. They of course went with a pocket full of cash and were actually met at a house (turned out to be a fake address) by "robbers" with "guns" and ended up being robbed and shot. Beware of where you are going. IF possible I meet at WalMart. Plenty of cameras and people , plenty of room, bathrooms available, and you can go online and download a map to any Walmart in the country. Just be cautious... there are a lot of crooks out there and they know how to work the system.
