Hey all,
Hopefully someone has experience with this. I have my '87 SS on Ebay right now, and there is someone interested in the car from Upstate NY. She wanted to know if she threw in an extra $100, could I meet her partway with the car, like somewhere on the NYS Thruway. Now, this would be fine with me, except - how can she legally get the car home from that point if I take my plates off it?

1. If I send her the title after the payment clears, technically the car is hers and I'd be driving it there with no insurance and fake plates and registration on it.

2. If I sign the title over to her at the meeting point, she has no registration or plates. She could get insurance if she notifies her company ahead of time.

What should I do?
