I've been in talks for a couple weeks with a local who's trying to buy my finished project car. He wants to have it picked up and taken to a local shop (who supposedly does Porsche race builds, etc). I don't really know the buyer that well, besides meeting him when he first came to see the car and test drive it (seems like an honest character). I have the title and I'll keep that until the actual sale, but what steps should be taken to insure nothing nefarious takes place? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Have the potential buyer arrange a PPI within a reasonable distance and supply his CC info for billing with an agreement you get a complete copy of the PPI report. Have him rent the trailer, or better yet, if you have road service, have it flat-bedded, and you take the car to the PPI shop and remain with it while they inspect it. Do not let them drive it; if necessary, you drive it with their mechanic, around the block so they can see it shifts, brakes, steers, etc.
This is always a nightmare situation when selling a really nice car. I wish you the best and hope the potential buyer is 100% legit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
