How to sell a car to someone out of state?

Asked by Eddy Feb 04, 2017 at 05:34 PM about the 2011 Honda Accord EX-L V6

Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

This is my first time selling a vehicle. I have had offers from people out of state and I am not sure if it is a legit buyer or a scam. I would like to know how I can sell my car and how to accept payment without the fear of being scammed.

Don't accept most cashiers checks as there are a lot of fakes out there. Your bank can clear one drawn on their company but all others will take 2 weeks. Never let go of the car or the title until the payment clears!
