2023 Jeep Wrangler — buyer wants to pay with cashier check on a weekend

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.

Private-party deals fail on paperwork, not vibes. If the 2023 Jeep Wrangler still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. I'd do that before spending real money. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. Independent PPI on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” Then you'll know the next fork. On “buyer wants to pay with cashier check,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.
