It's hard even with cash today; I have found the best way for me is it to have the bank wire money into my account. I have a small account just for that; keep just enough money in it to keep it active. So far so good, I sold a 96 Impala SS with 256 miles on it, a retired guy from the air force flew to the air port rented a car, came with a check from his credit union. We had our bank contact his bank to verify it, and I let him drive the car to Ga. but I kept the title until the check cleared just to make sure. He wasn't happy but that was the only way I was letting the car go.

p.s. this was before 911 2001
