Default Re: Need advice ASAP regarding sale of car out of state ...

Things like security deposit, handling of the title, wire transfers of $$$. He probably will have the car picked up by a transport company. Can this type of sale and transfer be handled thru a bank? Do I need a third party to act as a transfer agent, or not (preferred). How has this been handled by you previously.
Things used to be so easy back when ..... give me the money and I'll give you the car. LOL. Not anymore.....
Appreciate any input on this ....... Howard
Howard, I did a search and came up with this. CLICK
There may be more and some may be specific to Illinois.

Much easier in person, I got my car in Florida, went to the bank of the seller handed over certified check (cashiers check?), manager notarized Florida bill of sale, I got the ownership and hit the long road home.

Good luck with the sale, very nice car.
