[s-cars] Out of town buyer.

[Mike Sylvester]

FYI

'as is' is not meaningful in all states.  e.g. MA does not allow 'as is'
auto sales.

> Why the Drivers License number?  I've never asked for one as a Seller, and would never provide one as a Buyer.  AFAIK there isn't a single state in the Union that requires it either.  If you are really looking for some sort of ID type of 'security' have the Bill of Sale Notarized at your (Seller) Bank.

> The cutoff for wire through the Fed is 3pm Eastern Time Zone.  IME, that means you have until 1pm as a Buyer.  After that, you take your chances for same day funds.  Many Banks will delay account credit of Wire Funds for a couple days, btst.  Both Buyer and Seller should know beforehand exactly what information is needed to Wire, because all financial institutions have different policies and routing information.  It's not just a world of ABA and account number.  Just BTDT with a returned wire, *after* I spoke to the Sellers Lienholder directly, while holding their wire instruction sheet.

> As/representing the Seller, I would never take nor expect to give a Cashier's check, MO, or personal check.  If you feel it's ok to do so, best do the Sale at your Bank.  Remember, if a car Buyer is a scam, and they made it to the point where you are ready to sign over Title, you are not smart enough to stop it with a DL# or a Cashier's Check-verification.

> The best thing is, 90+% of vehicle transactions are legit.  IME, that's the best thing going for any private party sale.  And please Sellers, all Bills of Sale aren't worth anything if they don't include 2 items:  Selling Price and "As Is" condition.
