2023 Genesis G70 — buyer wants to pay with cashier check on a weekend

2023 Genesis G70 3.3T, 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 trying not to assume the first explanation I see online.

Title status is the whole conversation. A rushed deposit before you can inspect the 2023 Genesis G70 is enough reason to walk. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2023 Genesis G70 in Charlotte with 41,000 miles. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 2023 Genesis G70. I'd do that before spending real money. On “buyer wants to pay with cashier check,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. I asked for the buyer’s order in email, not a text.

Private-party deals fail on paperwork, not vibes. Independent PPI on the 2023 Genesis G70 is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” Then you'll know the next fork. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.

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 2023 Genesis G70. I'd do that before spending real money. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Not wiring anything in the meantime.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 2023 Genesis G70. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2023 Genesis G70 in Charlotte with 41,000 miles. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.
