I'll suggest you speak to an attorney but I'll offer my perspective. It is up to the buyer to make his own arrangements. You shouldn't have to wave goodbye to a car with no money in your pocket. Frankly, it annoys me that the buyer thinks this is fine.

Think of it this way. If he can't get a bank check that also means that when he hands you a personal check, that account will also not have enough money in it for you to cash the check. Relying on "float" is a bad idea for both parties.

You can always postpone delivery of the car, until he has funds available. He can also arrange a short term loan from his bank, if he has decent credit.

Point being, there are ways around this problem, if he has any interest in meeting his obligations. I don't know the buyer but personally, I'd never turn over a car until I had funds in my account. Not a check in my hand, even a bank check.

Good luck,
JR
