Hey all,

Holy crap, I listed my car on yahoo, cars.com & autotrader.com 2 days ago and I think I have a buyer already!

Anyway, I've never done this before (selling a car privately). I went to the DMV site to get their procedures but it's written poorly. Can anyone walk me through the process and/or let me know what to look out for? Things like, is it correct to require a certified check? I know I should keep the plates and scrape off the registration, but then how does the buyer drive it away without plates?

Things like that.

Thanks
Steve
