    re payment. don't do cash or only if your in a bank let them count it and check it.

    No way do a bankers draft.

    best get them to do a same day transfer CHAPS PAYMENT.

    Then CONFIRM with bank all is in order before you hand over the car.

    well 99% of people buying cars will have a genuine bankers draft.

    then you have the 1% with the fake bankers draft but you don't find out until a good few days after and the car has been handed over.

    Takes that amount of days for the draft to go back to the issuing bank or rather the bank that has been printed on the draft only for them to reject the draft which in turn = no money for the seller.
