<prompt> Human: Im looking to buy a motorcycle from a private party 2 hours away. Its almost 10k. Initially, I was just going to get cash from the bank, but upon trying to do this yesterday, they informed me that its best to give them 1 weeks notice to order the cash its a smaller local credit union - and they just had a couple other members make sizable withdrawals as well. So I can do that if possible.But, Is that the best way to do it? Thats a lot of cash to be carrying around. Is a cashiers check just as reliable - assuming I went to the bank with the seller? I guess some banks would still put a hold on it, which isnt too comforting for the seller.And what about wiring? Ive never tried that. I always thought it to be fairly instantaneous, but my research on that has proven conflicting.Im still trying to find out which bank the seller uses. If its a major one, I could perhaps find a local branch and see if theyd hold the money in an escrow account?Im open to whatever options and want to make this transaction as easy on the seller as possible.Thanks!Edit: I appreciate all the help everyone. Ideally, it would be nice to walk into a bank together, but were two hours apart, and the banks I use are only local to me. I still need to find out what bank he uses though. If hes not too keen on the cashiers check, I might look at wiring.  <response>: I would go into their bank with them while they have a cashiers check issued.
