?? who will check out car for $100 as I am also getting ready to buy another. Definitely have car checked out 1st. Compare vin# against title. it is a common practice to leave a title open so no sales tax is due, especially if you are not going to keep vehicle, there does have to be some trust involved.. I just sold a commercial truck site unseen other than pics to a guy in Va I am 900miles away, I faxed him a copy of title and guaranteed it had never been wrecked. He paid an extra $1000 for me to drive it up, I explained the condition, etc over the phone and told him maybe he should have truck checked out but he never did, when I got there he said it was the best truck for the money he had seen and promply gave me a bank check for balance. He could have been real anal and said it was not what he expected and I guess I would have had to just drive it back at a slight loss due to fuel cost, etc. The reason he did not come to see it was he had just flew to Pa to look at an excellent truck and when he got there it was a piece of junk so he didn't want his time to be wasted again so he bet a $1000 that my word was good.. I bet a couple of 100 on it also. Another thing is today even bank checks - cashiers checks can be bad or payment can be stopped so it is best to go directly to bank with buyer.
