I suppose that the one good thing is that with a direct bank transfer, once completed, cannot be reversed.
All you have to worry about is whether the funds are coming from a genuine account.
Cash is king, but you have to inspect every note.

A bankers draft for the full amount might work, or insist on going to your local branch of his bank and withdrawing the cash.

Well it was not a con. I picked him up from the train station at 1.30pm and he has just left now with the car.
We went over town and i put the money into my bank and also sorted the paperwork out at the post office.
It was hard seeing my car of 7 years being driven off by someone else. He was and is a very nice guy and i'm happy he brought the car.
So it all worked out well, and i'm very happy with what i got for the car and he is very happy with buying the car.

Congratulations.
I'm very happy for you that the cynic in me was proven wrong, (but still amazed).

It sounded a bit scammy to me. Perhaps, with all these scams going about, people have hardened to things that used to run the normal route.
Well done. What bike are you spending that wad on? I won't tell your wife
