If selling to someone who is not local, I like to draft a bill of sale which states funds are to be sent via wire transfer in exchange for the car. Both parties sign the draft. You can send a 'copy' of the title with the draft bill of sale. This gives the buyer comfort that you actually own the car. The buyer then wires the money. After the seller confirms receipt of the wire at the bank, the seller then overnights the actual title to the new owner. The buyer now owns the car. I like to have the buyer arrange and pay for all transport on his own because this removes you from any issues if damage occurs in transport.
