<prompt> Human: Im purchasing a car from a private seller and we were going to meet today to finalize it. I was going to pay in the form of a cashiers check. Just before we meet I get a text that says this:So heres the deal. I looked into it last night. I still owe on the car a little bit to capital one. What I have to do is have the cashiers check clear and pay it off and do a liability release through the dmv and then have Capitol One send you the title directly. I put the car on Craigslist on Thursday and didnt expect such a demand so I probably should have looked this up earlier.I tell her I can wait to purchase the car while she pays it off fully but I dont feel comfortable giving the cashiers check and then relying on her to put it towards finishing the payment. She says its pretty standard to have the money clear. Im not sure exactly what that means. My impression is that Im basically paying for the car and then trusting her to put the money towards the debt. Otherwise it becomes my debt. Is this correct?Also is this actually pretty standard? Is there anyway to ensure that debt does not transfer to me?Thanks all  <response>: Run, dont walk. Tell her you will be there when she has the title.
