A potential client (VA) is looking at purchasing a car in the Los Angeles area (Pamona) and was wondering if we have any referrals for 3rd parties that could help him facilitate this (i.e. getting cashier check, arranging transportation and making sure the vehicle is safely transported) in that area. I have not heard of such a beast and didn't know if you knew of anything/anybody.
I can provide some resources for you, but I know of no "one stop shopping" for the resources you are interested in. Generally, an attorney is used to hold both the funds and the title until both parties are happy with their arrangement – we would suggest an impartial firm somewhere in between the buyer and the seller. AAG (Auto Appraisal Group) could do an appraisal / inspection of the vehicle for him. Their toll free number is 800-848-2886. This is money well spent for both parties, and often can create a better understanding of the vehicle’s condition prior to your transaction. Here are three carriers from our resources list, regarding transportation of the vehicle. Highly suggested is insuring the vehicle for Agreed Value coverage before he has it transported, just in case.
