Best Way to Purchase Out of State Car From Private Seller?

[VegasEgg]

I used escrow.com and another buddy of mine used a third party inspector

I thought about selling my car private party but without a clear title it seems to be a real PITA so I'll have to pay it off or trade it in and take the hit.

it's actually quite easy.. Certified check from buyer to protect him, then you hold title, but write up your own binding sale with the buyer, take his money-pay off your car, then the bank will mail the title and lien release to new owner.
I have sold a few expensive cars this way, no issue.
