<prompt> Human: Im selling a used 10 year old car in the DFW area. Its been maintained very well over the last 10 years and in pretty good shape. Since this is my first time selling a car, what all should I be on the lookout for, as far as scammers go, and what are good signs in potential buyers? I already had someone email with some Im only in town TODAY, its urgent, youll need to bring it HERE, blah blah blah and I didnt even respond because it just sounded very off and sprang a whole ton of red flags. So far, Im planning on meeting with any potential buyers at a police station Internet Exchange Purchase spot, and asking for cash only, no money orders or cashiers checks. If a person decides to buy, do I keep the license plate, do we go to the courthouse together for the title transfer, etc.? TL;DR Im a newbie car seller on the private market and dont want to get taken in by a scammer. What do?  <response>: I recently sold my car on craigslist. Cash only, period. First to show up with the sash gets the car, dont hold it for anyone. Ifwhen someone buys take the license plate off and keep it for yourself. Do not let them convince you they need it so they can drive home. They can drive without plates as long as they have a bill of sale and title they are supposed to get insurance for themselves before driving it anywhere though, but thats on them not you. Dont forget to take all insurance papersdocument out of the glove compartment and your ez-pass!To transfer the title you do not need to go to a courthouse or anything. Look at the title you have. On the back or bottom there should be a form that says something like Selling this car with information to fill out regarding the buyersellodometerdate. Other than that google Car Bill of Sale and print 2 out, one for you and one for buyer. Make sure it has the words As It and No warranty or something to that effect. Make sure you sign and have the buyer sign and keep a copy before letting them drive off. You dont want to be responsible if the car breaks down the next day. All the regular craigslist tips apply here: Only sell in person, dont even think about shipping anywhere. If anyone offers to pay more than youre asking just stop responding. If it seems too good to be true it is. Dont meet in sketchy locations and if youre nervous it never hurts to have a friend with you when showing the cartest driving they might bring others with them. The last thing I would say is to ignore those saying only to take the full amount. If the person has the cash in hand and wants a few hundred dollars off consider taking it. Think about the time it will take to find another person, all the test drives, etc. Sometimes its worth it just to let it go to get the cash in hand.
