Buying First Car Autism Anonymous 2017-07-16 02:22:34 Post No. 17542481 [Report]

So I've been looking at cars for a while now, and I found a great one on craigslist but the guy is being kind of sketchy and I was wondering what you guys thought. Anyway, I text the guy to set something up and we're supposed to meet Saturday, he accepts cash or checks. Saturday morning I ask him for his name so I can get the check filled out, and he last minute says cash only. I talk to him a bit, and he says a check is alright as long as we meet on a weekday when the banks are open. So basically he won't sell me the car unless he gets the money the day of. Is this something to be worried about /o/? I've talked to a couple people and they say it's pretty obvious that something must be wrong with the car and that he hopes to just pocket the cash day of, while I get screwed when I find something wrong with the car. I must say, it's very suspicious that he won't take a check over the weekend. Again, what do you guys think? Is it a scam?

Wtf no this is not sketchy. You would not be driving off with my car until i cash that check at YOUR bank. Expect that to be the scenario.

>craigslist
Found your problem

But seriously, the fact that he wants his cash up front isn't really that crazy considering it's a private sale. Throwing out bad checks and trying to run away with the car was at one point a pretty common scam.

If you really want to test the water, tell him you wanna take it to a shop and pay for an inspection/have a mechanic come out and look at it before you hand over the money. See what his reaction is to that
