I have a potential buyer in Texas for my 81 TTA and I live in North Carolina. My TTA is registerd in Florida because I am in the military. I sent him details and pics of the car and he wants to buy it sight unseen. He has offered to have the car shipped to him and to send half of what I want for it ($7K).
First of all, Should I ask for the whole amount up front? If I ask that, he could think he might get screwed if the car is still in my possession. If he sends only half, how do I know if I'll get the rest from him? What type of payment should I accept? What about the title?
Is there a way to do this so both parties are happy?
As of right now, the buyer is out of town on business and I'm not sure when he'll get back to me.
I wish it was a deal in person so it could be as simple as cash for title swap.
Thanks for any help,
James
