Question about Auto insurance

When I've done it, I write up a bill of sale, and I ask the buyer for his DL. I put both of our DL#s on the bill of sale. My bank has a scanner that they run the checks though. I believe that they can tell immediately if the funds are available. Perhaps you, hop in the car with the buyer; and take a trip to your bank; and tell him ahead of time, that you'll sign over the title when your bank confirms that the funds are available.

You can say, " I'm not accusing you of anything; but I don't know you."

NEVER EVER accept a check for anything. On something expensive, meet inside of a bank and insist on cash that is given to them from a bank teller and then sign the title to them.

If that were to happen, call the police.

They would tell you how to proceed and where your insurance fits into the story.

It might make sense to call the insurance company on the front end; and just ask. They might even give some tips on the best way to handle the transaction.
