Process when selling your car...?

Corrina Faro: You should go with the buyer to transfer the title. You're responsible for that car, should they kill someone, until the title is transferred. I like to go to the buyers bank so I know I have a good check, and then to the DMV to transfer the title.If you have to wait a day, get some money down from them.Your dad should go along.

Even if they give you a certified bank check call the bank and make sure that the check is good....Show more
