Selling a car out of state, best way to get payment? I think that a buyer is going to be bying and transporting my car from out of state. What is the best way for me to get payment securely? I am thinking just a cashiers check/ money order and waiting for it to clear? I want the buyer to feel comfortable about the whole transaction...
Anyone have experience with this?

Paypal. Cashier's check. Provide him with the number to the bank it came from that way they can call up to the bank, give the bank the cashier's check number, ask if the funds are available/sufficient, etc. You might even be able to have it wired.

wired is the most secure way. No way the other bank can wire money thats not in his account... Cash is even better. Had a guy Monday fly all the way from Miami to pick up a classic 1958 Rolex I was selling. Paid me $9K in cash...
