    How'd you do the money part?

    Met at my bank... gave him a cashier's check.
    That's what I like to do, only I use a credit union. If they see the teller at the credit union cut the cashier's check, they can rest easy that it is not a fake check.


    Exactly.. when they see you procure the check from the teller at the bank, then no worries.

    The only vehicles I've bought out of town from private sellers were cash deals. We still met at the bank to get the paperwork notarized.

    Here in Texas, they no longer require a notary for the title paperwork.

    The best thing that's happened for transactions like that is grocery store bank branches. Around here, open on Sundays and Holidays. And, until 7:00 PM. Always a notary available.

    Never have sold myself yet but eventually, might do the Golf that way. My mechanic said that there's a market out there of kids that like VW products and mine looked particularly good in that blue color and the fancier rims. Said if it were his, no way he'd trade it to a dealer. So when the time comes, something to look into. Luckily in Florida, we do get the tax advantage with the dealer sale.

    Here is a sound selling tip I gave to poster @mdx2050 that I always do and others I'm helping. Weeds out scammers and joy riders.

    When selling my vehicles privately / on Auto- trader, Cars.com , Craigslist etc. If your selling a vehicle @15k, 20k,30k, 40k and other buyer has not been Pre-approved , Approved or telling you COD they do not get to look/ test drive my vehicle.

    Most serious buyers are Pre or approved. When I was thinking of selling my Genesis 2 years ago I told buyers bring your pre approved loan proof or don't bother knocking. Same with my old X-5.

    I appreciate the fact it is a Denali, but I can get a 2015 SLT for the same money as that 2013.

    Didn't know specific's on what model your looking for ? I'll keep me eye open if I see something worth while looking into.............. SLT, 1 or 2.

    Oh, I have found plenty for sale. It is on my short list still. Probably the best value, really, since I can get one with mileage under 20k for the low $20s. I still have yet to drive the Infinitis, though, so we'll see.

    I'm not sure how the packages work. Most I have found say they are just SLT. I do want leather, power, heated seats. I don't even use a moonroof myself, but feel I probably should get one with it since most buyers want one and I'd like it to retain as much value as possible. And it HAS to have the 3.6, which means 2013 or better.

    Wire transfer is the safest. You bring your title and a Fedex envelope to your bank officer. When the money is wired and appears in your bank account, it's REALLY there. And then the bank officer can drop the title in the mail. That puts you and your out of state buyer at ease. If it's an "in person" buyer, you can both go to your bank and do the deal however you are comfortable.

    But doesn't anyone besides me feel like giving the bank $25 to $30 for a wire transfer is blood money? I hate paying bank fees to use my own money.

    Well there is that but consider it like an escrow service. And if the buyer is out of state, and $30K-$40K is involved, seems like cheap insurance to me. It is the safest way.

    The only other alternatives are cash, if someone from out of state wants to carry that much with them, or a cashier's check, which can be forged, and your bank may not be able to detect this in time. The whole transaction will go through, even at your bank, and the cashier's check can still bounce.

    Schwab is supposedly $25, but every time I've wired funds through them, they've waived the fee, probably because I rarely need to wire money. Lately I just set up an interbank transfer and that's free on both ends (depending on the bank I suppose).

    The biggest scam is pulling out your money at a out of network cash machine. Want a quick $20 it just cost you 25 dollars..

    Quite true! At least the fees on withdrawals tend to be fixed (such as a flat $2-to-$5 fee), so if you take out more, you create better economy of scale. I generally pull a few hundred out if I'm going to use a machine that charges me. That way, the fee is mostly just a pittance.

    Regarding the cashier's check issue -- how about using a postal money order instead?

    Would a fraud attempt not trigger all sorts of penalties if one were to mess with it, thus setting the threshold a bit higher?

    Three things I don't mess with is the laws of phyisics, the IRS, and the US postal service...

    Is this yours or one you are looking at? Because a dark grey with 16,100 miles just sold in NJ a little over 2 weeks ago for $47k. It was rated below average. Should have been closer to 49 if in good condition. If you are trading, you should be looking for $47-$48k if it is clean with no past body work.

    Same car it seems. 

    I won't share where it's located since Jkipster is looking at it. Doesn't look like a below average car though, so that's interesting.

    My daughter traded in her 09 AWD Escape Limited, 88k miles pretty much everything except trailer towing for 7500. Condition good, front bumper replaced a couple of times, but great maintenance.
    She went in looking for 8k on my suggestion. I told her I'd buy it from her for that amount.
    First dealer lowballed @5800, then ran after her when she walked and offered 7500.
    Next dealer went to 7500, and dropped new car $300 from negotiated price when she was ready to walk, plus she got the exact car she wanted.

    Was going to do that, but I have nothing there, either. And nothing in convertibles. The last coupe non-S was 6 mos ago and got $29k
