I am currently in the process of selling many expensive things and I don't know how to ask for the money. I have to sell one of my racing bicycle for around 3000$. Do I ask for cash or a cheque (check)? How can I know if the check is authentic/good?
Always cash.
Have a friend watch over your thing while you count it.
Cash, meet in a secure public place during the day, have a friend or friends with you to witness the transaction.
Ideally, meet at the bank and have them deposit the money directly into your account. You don't want to get robbed on your way home by their goons.

Either cash or cashier check. Sorry but selling a used car can lead to theft.

>I can't just ask him for cash
yes you can
Anyways, if he pays 26k you meet him at his bank and you personally see him withdraw the 26k from his account.

Look up "How to sell a car in [your state here]". I'm pretty sure they would need to write you a check. Once it's cleared you would fill out a bill of sale and sign over the title to them
