dover Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 So I believe I have an individual from NC flying up this week to purchase my V. Now I told him I want cash or a bank certified cashiers check, now does that completely guarantee the check to be good so I can't get fucked? He plans to fly up and drive it back. How do I get him 30 Day tags to take it? Any other things I should look for or ask or do? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 A cashier's check withdraws the money out of his account and puts it on paper. If he has one, call the issuing bank and verify the funds are there and the check is valid. It's like a bigass money order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 You need to know the status of my title? I have a lien on it through my bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 You need to know the status of my title? I have a lien on it through my bank. Then, I assume you're planning on meeting him/taking him to your bank? If so, your bank will verify the funds before sending the buyer/buyer's bank the title. I assume he isn't trusting you to take the cash/check, pay off the loan, and them mail him the title? EDIT - this is how the most recent one went for me... sold the Z06 to a guy from Chicago. He flew out, I took him to my bank. He handed his bank's check to my bank, I signed a POA, we all signed a Bill of Sale, and he drove away uber-happy. My buyer brought his own IL plate with him and slapped it on my car. I'm not real sure about 30 day tags for an out-of-state person; that's a new one for me. One option - a sometimes bad one - would be to allow the buyer to drive back on your plate and mail it back to you. Maybe with some kind of $200 deposit.

Thanks that is what I'll do with him then, as far as plates go I'll ask him to bring his own. So that he can at least take it to the BMV and get some temps or what not. Thank you though for the help!

sol740 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 You can get fucked on cashiers checks if you just take it. They are easily faked. Your bank can call the issuing and verify the funds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 When I bought my cobra I just put my the plates from my 93 on it and I was told by someone at the BMV that they were then my 30-day tags. I then took care of all of the fees and the same plates are still on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure they are open and they can give your verification that the funds are good. Personally I don't take that much cash on a trip. If it is over $5K, I will let the seller know what my intentions are. I have never had an issue with that. He will get 30 day tags in his state of residence, or he can drive on any tags that are in his name. (Ohio allows thirty days for this, but I am unsure of other states). Give him a bill of sale for the ride home and he will be golden. I have done this many times and it has always worked out favorably. As a matter of fact, I got pulled over in Grandview last night because I had plates that were registered to a different car. I showed him the bill of state and he told me to have a good night. Best of luck to you! What are you getting next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
