The best way to do the transfer is to go to his bank with him, give him the money, he gives it to the bank, they give him the title which he hands over to you. No chance of getting scammed that way. If you can't go to the bank with him you'll have to give him the money and get the car and trust him to get the title to you at some later date.

 

Emoore has the right idea. I just did that process in front of the bank teller and it worked like a charm. Good luck and congrats!

 

put a downpayment on the car yesterday. Took it to Honda for safety/etest and its all good. Got them to do an leakdown/compression check. #s are 240 235 237 240

 

Excellent numbers.

 

never even knew you can get records of oil changes.. i've never got one for a camry i have either.. can you ask for 'em or something? im planning on selling that one someday

 

i've sold 9 cars.. never one person had asked for records.

As a seller you should prove that the car is in good condition. all body panels have vin stickers, compression/leakdown is good, gears sound good. etc..

 

yeah i dunno...some people keep all their receipts and papers for all the costs of a car and its maintenance...some dont. All body panels have matching vin #s so thats also a good sign.

 

i have been doing all the maintenance on all my cars for the last 10 years.
synthetic oils for motor

i dont trust most shops including dealerships...

 

Sounds like you may have a nice find there.

 

nice find for sure.

would you rather the seller have service records that were all fake anyways? Because they aren't hard to forge. And as everyone else said, at 30K, there aren't going to be many service records at all.

like seriously what are you loooking for?

fluid changes, cabin air filer and intake air filter?
