Selling on Craigslist

Question

I would like to sell my car on Craigslist. I've never sold a car before and I have the title ready to go. My question: how can I sell my car without being a victim of fraud? I really don't want to take cash. Ideas are welcomed.

Answer 1

Please reconsider your views on cash.  Insist upon it.  No checks...only green backs.

Answer 2

Hold on to the title until you have money in hand. You should do the transaction at a bank, preferably where the buyer banks.

Remember, there are fake cash bills, fake checks, fake certified funds certificates, everything. If you're at the bank, you can change whatever form of payment the buyer gives you into another form of funds to make sure it's real.

Just HOLD tightly the title until you have the money.  

Answer 3

Yes, keep the title with you until you have the money for the car!  Another great free classified ads website that you can sell your car on is http://www.stumblehere.com.
