Alert me when someone posts in this thread:

I bury my money in old coffee cans in various parts of my back yard.

I also buy obscure baseball cards to use in the barter economy that will certainly come tomorrow. ;o)

In all seriousness, I'm okay with cash, but in an ideal world, I'd like to meet the buyer/seller, drive the car, drive to my/their bank or credit union and see a cashier's check be drawn in person. Sometimes (usually) that isn't possible.

I've sold two cars over state lines (California to MA and CO), entirely by phone and email. In one case, I got a personal check for a deposit, then weeks later, when the shipping company arranged transport, I got the rest as a PayPal transfer. The other was entirely through PayPal, with confirmed address and contact info. Both of these were rare Saabs, so I could tell that they were serious because they knew as much about the cars as I did (SPG and 9000 Aero).
