1992 WBPT40 SanDiego 97K ForSale

[Dorn Hetzel]

When I bought my 77FC35 recently, I used what I think may be the last remaining method which is safe for both the buyer and seller to transact a large purchase of this nature.

What I mean by this that: (1) I, the buyer, don't want to part with my money until I have both the vehicle and tile in my hands, and (2) the seller doesn't want to part with the vehicle and title until they have known good funds in their hands.


All of this in an environment where all these kinds of fake checks and fake merchandise scams are rampant.

What I did was to find a branch of a bank I did business with that was local to the seller. I moved money for the purchase into a checking account with that bank enough ahead of time for the funds there to be cleared. We met at the bank and signed the paperwork there (nice since banks also have notary public service) and then the bank cut a cashiers check for the seller as they watched it being done. (This eliminate the whole set of fake cashiers check problems that are so prevalent today).


This allows an in person exchange of vehicle,keys,title,etc for funds which the seller can clearly see are real.

There are some Internet scams involving "must sell" items, usually automobiles offered at extremely attractive prices. If you pursue the offer, you'll soon be asked to "wire" money to an overseas account -- and it will be gone forever with out receiving title to the offered item.

The ad may be legit -- or not. Just be careful and don't wire a payment anywhere without being very sure that you'll receive clear title.
