Selling my '65 Belvedere. So far, I've gotten two bogus checks. Both were for exactly $10,000 more than the agreed upon price. One was a stolen check written on a closed account. The other was a fake check using a stolen bank account number. Always verify the check, I'd suggest even a certified check (these were not).
Lessons/observations. Be suspicious if:
1. they ask few or no questions.
2. Agree to your asking price quickly.
3. They are pushing you to cash the check - like, do it NOW - (so you don't have time to verify it).
4. If they send more money than you agreed. (shipping cost are not $10,000)
5. Would you spend $30-40,000 without seeing the car? I wouldn't.
My question is: how do you get paid when you sell a car?
