How To Accept The Buyers Payment
When You Sell A Car

Click here to start at the beginning of this section on how to sell your car.


As far as finalizing a car deal, I prefer cash and never accept a personal check. With cash - you know the deal is done and you know you don't need to hassle with it anymore.

If its an expensive car or truck, or maybe they want to buy it through their business, then I might accept a cashiers check.

I think its really important to put on the bill of sale something like this:

"Buyer understands that this car is sold on an "AS IS" basis only. Seller will not be responsible for any future repairs. This sale is final".

I am only telling you what I have done when I have sold a used car. You are on your own as to how you handle the legal paperwork.

Please don't take what I just said as the only way to do something. Perhaps you live in an area of the world where you are responsible for a used car even AFTER you sell a car for a period of time (and how scary is that?!). So check this out for yourself with whatever government agency handles the paperwork when you sell a car.
