And bring your friends smith and Wesson.
True story, when I went to get the 70 L78 Camaro "33k cash only" in Ft. Lauderdale I had two friends nearby armed and a radio transmitter on where they could hear everything. The seller was also apprehensive and had a counterfeit money testing unit and pen on site with a few friends. Rich

When Dave and I bought our Z28, the seller made us go to his bank to ensure the cash wasn't fake...

Re: \Why You Don't Pay Cash For Cars From Strangers
I sold a ZL1 engine to a Canadian buyer...he sent 5 Wells Fargo Checks through customs via USPS. just to make sure the monies were OK.
Intercontinental transactions should all be this easy. I have no clue why such a seasoned couple would risk there lives with cash on hand going to a strangers place. I hope it ends well

Re: \Why You Don't Pay Cash For Cars From Strangers
Just as another word of warning, ...I had a city of Calgary police officer who plays on our old guys hockey team , say that their commercial crime division has at least 20 "FAKE BANK DRAFTS" per week just in Calgary alone, and its the same all over North America , and this is Bank Drafts from real banks , that are so legitimate looking that people never suspect that they are fake. So I would saythat caution is definitely warranted, and even checking to see if cash is real,.....docent sound that bad to me...the best way I've found is to have the funds wired to your a count and wait 7-10 days to send the car.....
Makes it tougher for the buyer,...but if your the guy with the car.....

</div></div> Why do you have to wait 7-10 days? A friend of mine sold a motorcycle to a guy in Japan, funds were wire transferred..the bank put them in my friends name and next day two guys came and boxed up the bike and he gave them the title. Can they take back the funds? The bank told my friend once they had the money and in his account it was gold.
