Posting on behalf of my friend:
A guy from California is interested in buying his car as found on AutoTrader. Apart from being from Cali, everything seems legit so far. He's going to run a carproof and if everything checks out, he's looking to fly to Calgary and drive it back. He said he would accompany my friend to the bank to deposit the traveller's check (or some sort?)
Now, are there any other concerns you guys can think of in this sort of scenario?
Can the cheque get denied (bank hold? or NSF after a few days?).
Any sort of special paperwork required?
Everything is structurally sounds asides for a windshield crack.
My thinking is once the money clears, send him on his way
But we've never dealt with a buyer over the border.
Thanks in advance!
