they can even stop payment on an official check. Only cash is really
safe.

Oddly, there are no good usergroups I know of for a question like this.
ahr seems as good as any place.

I have my car for sale.
Is it okay to let them take it for a test drive? If they don't come
back,
have they stolen it, or have they just borrowed it for longer than I
intended? When I bought a used car two years ago nobody thought twice
about letting me test drive them, but I look really harmless.

Is a bank check secure enough? Except for cash I don't know of anything
safer. And I suppose if they gave me forged check it wouldn't be much
different than stealing the car.

Any advice, or good websites on the subject, would be appreciated.


Go with them.

payment, I would require a cashiers check delivered at the bank.
I don't think payment can be stopped on such a check; it is the same
as money.


Nope... ask at the bank.... even offical bank checks can be stopped from
payment.
