Selling a car privately

[BNB]

For something cheap, I'd assume it'd be easier.

But I'm looking to sell my car for about 15k, and I know most people can't just fork over that kind of money all at once when buying a car from someone.

Do any of you have experience selling a car privately for this much money? How do you go about doing it?

For that money they may need a loan.
Once you agree on a price just meet him at his bank, receive the check then sign over the title... give him the keys... take your plate... have a beer.
Or he can bring you the check... as long as the check is from the bank which you can verify by phone. Just make sure any check clears before you sign the title over.

Best of luck...

Thats between him and the bank.
He would have 10 days or so to mail it to them. However the bank may well send the check directly to you... with a return envelope for the signed title. The buyer would have to check with his bank.

I've never fully done this transaction, but was looking to buy a car this way once. Basically the bank said if you find the car, have the owner bring it and the title to the bank and everything gets handled at one time.

This would be preferred as safest for all involved.

I lease my Audis. Havent purchased a car since the Jaguar XJS in 1989. Just wrote a check, so I suggest you tell the buyer to do that

I bought a horse trailer for a little over 12 cash. The lady who owned it had one of those markers to verify the cash was real.
The only hitch was that withdrawing that kind of cash can be a pain in the ass for some.
Maybe have him buy a cashiers check at your bank?
