Thank you. Yeah thought about that but living in MA, it’s not as easy. I still need to get it registered here then be able to fly in w the proper reg and plate (temporary for now according to my insurance agent due to COVID-19, but they don’t normally issue temp tags) to be able to drive it back. Might take a bit to process.

If so push through w it, I will choose to trust the seller and send him the credit union check, then have him overnight me the title w proper transfer information. Then I can start the registration process. All this time, the seller has the car I will then technically own.

PLUS, little complication: car came w bucket seats that aren’t installed and last time I looked, shipping these are also a pain in the behind. So there’s that.

My best bet is to really ship them all but then, I’ll go back to my first “dilemma’l which is how to make sure the now-former owner doesn’t take “my” car for joyrides and stuff. It used to be her/his daily after all.
