How Buyer Should Pay

We are selling a car on Craigslist, and I would like to know the best way (for us, the seller) to have the buyer pay us. We had a problem once before when selling a car and don't want it to happen again.

No matter what do not fall for any type of Paypal or western union payments. When it comes to cars it is always best to do cash on site. Not a bad idea to have a friend with you. We once sold a motorcycle to a guy in Australia. We were very leery and stuck to our guns about cash only on site. He agreed and his agent showed up and did as we requested. So it is possible to get people from other countries. A true buyer will honor your choice. Never accept a check either. They can stop payment and then you have lost your money and your car.
