2022 Genesis GV70 — buyer wants to pay with cashier check on a weekend

SunBeltTuner903Community StarterNov 27, 20252022 Genesis GV70 3.5TWestchester
2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T, about 41,000 miles. A buyer wants to meet Saturday when my bank is closed and use a cashier check. I am not accusing them of anything; I just want a payment method I can actually verify before signing over the car. I am in Westchester.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. If the 2022 Genesis GV70 still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. Then you'll know the next fork. Just my two cents from doing this recently. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 2022 Genesis GV70. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2022 Genesis GV70 in Westchester with 41,000 miles. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.

Private-party deals fail on paperwork, not vibes. A rushed deposit before you can inspect the 2022 Genesis GV70 is enough reason to walk. I'd do that before spending real money. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. I'll update if anything new shows up.

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. A rushed deposit before you can inspect the 2022 Genesis GV70 is enough reason to walk. That's where I'd start. On “buyer wants to pay with cashier check,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Any freeze-frame data saved? I asked for the buyer’s order in email, not a text.

Title status is the whole conversation. Meet at a bank or dealer title office for the 2022 Genesis GV70, not a parking lot at night. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2022 Genesis GV70 in Westchester with 41,000 miles. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'd rather be boring and correct. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.
