It wasn't a bash and I didn't name you publicly. But you just named yourself here about this. Sorry for being worried about be ripped off but it does happen every day to a lot of people. Why didn't you respond to my email after you said "this won't work for me good luck"

I talked to Capital one on the phone and they told that it didn't sound right to them so that one reason I said that. Also a lot of fake checks are being used by people so yeah I am nervous about falling for that. I explained in my email to your friend that cash would be the best way to deal with this and that I could also hold the car with a deposit until he could secure the rest in cash OR that my bank could confirm the check as valid. The only response I got from your friend was this won't work for me good luck. He didn't respond to any emails after saying that so yes that would make me feel like it was a scam even more. I think given the circumstances you would have felt the same. He said I have a check for the car and I am coming out to buy it, who has a check already made out for the exact amount for a car you have not even seen yet? Anyhow to bad it will sell I have no worries.
you are living in the dark ages....
Capitol One is Freaking Awesome...I called them on a Thursday and told them I was buying a car ,Friday morning there is a knock on the door ,mail guy with my check,the check is blank ,but good for up to, what ever you tell them you are willing to spend on said car,if I tell them I will spend 10K and talk you down to 8K then I write it for 8K,fax all paper work right then with buyer and seller at currency exchange and call you bank and ask if it went thru....
Now say sorry, for your not knowing and jumping to conclusions.

Greetings from the dark ages....
I have not had to sell a car in probably 15 years or more so whatever then. Why would capital one say something didn't sound right? Yeah I know its outsourced to india and stuff so maybe they gave me crappy info? Anyone else wanna jump on me now?
FYI.....a couple of years ago, I bought a ZR-1 which I financed through a place called PeopleFirst. I'm thinking they were bought out by Capitol One. Basically, they Fedexed, to me, a blank check good for up to $xx,xxx. I then negoitiated my deal with the seller, who was in Louisville KY. After we came to terms on the price, I flew up to Louisville. We were then required to go to a PeopleFirst approved notary (I think it was a Pac-N-Ship)to do the paperwork and title signing. The Pac-N-Ship guy kept the original title and sent it to PeopleFirst. Like you, the seller was a little concerned at first, but after he contacted PeopleFirst, he agreed to do the deal. At that time (2002), PeopleFirst was one of the few places I could find to finance an old musclecar and the rate was like 6.75%. I'm not sure how much has changed since CapitoOne puchased them, but I may consider using them when I'm ready to purchase another GN.
I certainly understand your caution with all the scams these days, but it sounds like he had a similar setup as my transaction in 2002.
Good luck on selling your car, but as with all musclecars, 5 years from now, you'll be wishing you hadn't sold it, anyway

Hey Guys, I've seen this car in person and it is well worth $8000. It is not really that rusty. At the midwest Meet, i looked the car down becuase someone could easily have the car fixed and painted. I would buy it today but I have a Limited on the way as well as a baby all in the same week!! Good luck wih the sale! --------Jeremy
