I came with a cashier's check and the idiots wouldn't release the car until they called "upstairs" to see if they had to wait until the check "cleared" first. Just not used to people paying that way.

What many people don't realize about a cashiers check is they are like any other and can be cancelled and can be forged. When I sell a vehicle privately I take cash or we meet at the bank.

I once sold a car on eBay and had a fake cashier's check sent. You can call the issuing bank and they can identify whether its a legitimate check or not. I don't think that a cashiers check works like a regular check in that you can't just issue a stop payment.

I used AutoNationDirect: AutoNation Direct - Car Buying Program

You fill out a form, they send someone to your house to inspect the car and cut you a check. I got about 95% of blue book value.

Best,

Mike
