If anyone has experience buying/selling Teslas out of state, could you please PM me? Can’t make the trip to the state the one I want is located, so trying to work through easiest method(s). Thanks in advance!
 
What's the escrow services everyone uses? Or just how do you all fling around $50k-$60k to buy these cars?
Get seller's information, prepare paperwork to be signed ahead of time, get Cashier's check for purchase price, get insurance for the new car, visit seller and inspect the car, go to local DMV together and have the seller sign over title, bill of sale, and do the registration of temporary plates (usually $20-$30 and valid for 90 days) and hand over the cashier check and drive away to your home state, and register the car there.
