Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 19, 2007 9:53 pm) I am not too happy with a check to be honest. A wire from their bank to either GMAC or my acct, which would then go to GMAC. Then I get the remainder with title transfer.

You know, every situation is different. If you are suspicious of the buyer in any way, you have to play your cards tighter than I did. By the way, I got a printed title in a couple of days. In any event, they don't make it easy, neither the bank or the finance company. Having a local credit union to deal with would have been a lot easier for me, but E-Loan gave me a great rate and a fast decision. |

As far as your question about who would give a check to a seller, I've done it successfully but, hey, you've got to have some idea that you're dealing with a responsbile individual. |

Quick question I just bought a car from a friend for the sole purpose of reselling it. They wanted to sell it private party as dealerships weren't offering much as a trade-in, but can't sell it themselves for various reasons. So I bought it and we will share the proceeds when it sells. They'll end up with more for their car and I will make a little money for my efforts. I paid them, they paid off the lien on the car and had the bank send me the title. I have the title but it is still in my friend's name. In order to sell this car do I need go to the DMV and get it titled in my name (and deal with the fees and hassles and possible taxes involved?) or can my friend just sign it over to me right on the title, and I sign it over to the final buyer? State is florida Thanks for your help.

I have never bought from private party. i have tested the car, have come up with the price, now how would I pay and get the car? how would I know he/she is selling his/her car? not a case of fraud? tips? what are the common red flags in a car sale. for his part i do not have any problem to pay by vashier check/cash?

Replying to: kiawah (Jan 25, 2008 5:46 am) how the title will be transfered. for a new car, I would have 30 days to apply. is there a reciept? or bank tellers notary stamp is the reciept? so i can prove i bought this car. my next question would be, if I have a kelly's blue book value (let us assume I can give the exact description of the car as an input for the car), is it the maximum I should pay? any rule of thumb?
