Just need to sort out payment with seller...he just emailed preference for a wire transfer BUT I prefer using a certified check (wells fargo) and exchanging for title in person, notary etc and would scan/email copy of the check prior as proof...any thoughts?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You carry 10k your son carries 10k problem solved.
Hey all- Been away from the p-car world for almost 9yrs when I sold my 964 (DOH!!!) to a buddy...You know the old p-car selling sob story, the kiddos had sports, school stuff, marriage, work, locust, plague, yada yada...

so much for a PPI ...LOL
Now I am flying to SLC next Thursday (yes T-giving) with my 16yo son to drive her back to NJ...someone say road trip?!?
Just need to sort out payment with seller...he just emailed preference for a wire transfer BUT I prefer using a certified check (wells fargo) and exchanging for title in person, notary etc and would scan/email copy of the check prior as proof...any thoughts?
Plan is to get her ready over the winter for some track days next spring at NJMP.
Welcome back.
Yes. In person with a certified check is the way to go. Should be a fun road trip, look out for snow/ice.
I know how you feel selling your 964. I sold my 1992 964 C2 back in 2002, Doh! I ended up recently getting a 1999 C4 and am now setting it up as a track car now.
Enjoy!
Yes, wire transfer bad idea. Unless you are on the phone with the receiving bank and get the codes by phone from the bank. A friend of mine used an e-mail (that was fake) for the codes and lost a lot of $$$.
I usually make arrangements to meet at a bank and do the transaction there. Sometimes cash....sometimes cashiers check.
Just double check the title. I purchased a car on MO. They handed me title and I handed them cash. no problem. Except in MO they will issue you a title with a lien still on the vehicle. I didn't know that. In Illinois, the lender will keep custody of the title until loan is paid off. I live in IL so I assumed title was clear when they handed it to me.
Couldn't get the car titled for a few weeks.
It all worked out, it was just a little PITA going back and forth to get more paperwork.
I wouldn't wire anyone the money, meet in person and do the transaction. I usually meet people at a bank or a police station it just makes it easier.
Looks and sounds great BTW
Seller here. One thing I realized is that cash is an option in the bank. I could let you drive it & look over the receipts, then transfer payment and keys at the bank. Since it would be a branch of your bank, no need to travel with any funds and no lag on processing.
I completely agree, not only is this safer for both parties, its convenient to have a notary right there if need be. Buyer isn't carrying 20g's in cash, and the seller doesn't have to after either. I know when I sell things I am not so comfortable knowing the buyer knows I now have X amount of cash on me or in my house. Who knows what goons he could send back by later that day. If the transaction is after bank hours or a weekend there is a pretty good shot its in your house. Now as a seller if you are asking me to meet at your bank and I don't have an account there, I simply open one and then move the money if need be to my bank via wire transfer. Or just leave the account open as a separate play money account
Thanks to all for the replies!...and thanks to the seller for a great car! Looking forward to driving her back with my son...
Tony- Agree, think your cash idea at a wells branch makes the most sense for both of us. We can also have the bill of sale notarized for free at the bank.
Since the title will not be in sellers hands till about Dec1 is a bill of sale and possession enough protection in case the state delays title release or it gets lost etc?
What about in-transit tag? Do I have seller leave Utah plates on and send back when he has title? Or does that pose a risk for the seller from a liability standpoint? Obviously I will have vehicle insured for my trip back. I checked on NJ DMV website and 30d transit tag requires title?
Any thoughts? Not sure what I did when I bought my 964. Think seller left tags on vehicle as they conveyed...some states I know the tag stays with vehicle and some the tag belongs to person...
You can ask the owner to let you use the plates and then mail them back after you've completed registration in your home state. I have however driven a vehicle home without one and was pulled over, showed the officer the bill of sale from earlier in the day and was let free, however you can only drive strictly home or to the DMV to get plates. This was a couple years ago so not sure if this is still permissible.
Great, payment squared away
For the title, I'll have a bill of sale from the bank. That plus possession should work though waiting an extra week would allow title processing and I could hand it to you directly. Whichever fits your schedule best. There's an outside chance I have to travel the first week of December but that's looking doubtful right now.
You can keep the Utah plates. I'll keep it insured through USAA until the title is in your name. You should have it insured from day one so both of us are protected. Even if you were able to get temp tags it's likely easier to keep the Utah ones on and then clean up with a formal temp tag from NJ once it's available.
Hoping can fly with my son thursday and roadtrip back but now the doc has me doing some med tests scheduled for next week that may take priority, trying to figure it all out. Had some heart probs early in the year that required a bit of hospitalization so have to walk the line a bit...messes with the head.
Totally sux getting old! ....or as the dude would say, "this is a bummer man..."
I hope you get to do the road-trip; Would be a fantastic experience with your son. I just recently did a pickup/roadtrip bit it was solo...fun but not as fun as having a partner in crime.
Take care of yourself.
Good luck on your trip, when you get out there. I drove mine home from Cali last year, what a blast.
I flew out with cash (I thought the buyer insisted on cash, he says he didn't). Anyway, at the airport they made me take everything out of my pockets in security, so I put my travel pouch with ~$20K on the x-ray belt. Kind of a pucker moment there. Ha ha. Other than that, carrying the cash was not the biggest deal. It was large enough in my pocket so I always knew it was there.
Update- with my travel situation in flux the seller and I thought it best to table the sale at this time and he is pursuing a sale with a backup buyer. GLWS... great car!
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
Absolutely. If you try and bring a bottle of wine from Italy, you need to declare it, carry 20k to Vegas no one cares. Lets be honest thats Chump change for most guys going there...
The travel thing ONLY matters if you travel out of the country! Its to prevent illegal money transfers in cash. Carry $9900 you are fine $10k and over...trouble
