Some years ago, I had a '96 'Vette for sale. Long story made short, I was given a counterfeit but correct-appearing cashier's check, drawn on the Bank of America. I received the check on a Saturday, and therefore couldn't do much 'till I found out on Tues, but then it was too late. I was lucky that USAA covered the loss as a "theft", but be aware that such counterfeit instruments do exist. Get the check number, in advance of releasing the car and title, and have it verified by the issuing bank. I was lucky that the buyer didn't physically injure my family or me (he was at my house) and that financially I came out intact. steve meltzer, "I may be wrong, but I'm never in doubt"
