What’s the $10k - is that equity in the Porsche after a loan balance, meaning there is a delay to pay off loan and get title? Or just net cash owed to you between BMW and Porsche value?

Regarding risk of an accident, if you “trade in” the Porsche when you pick up the BMW, it’s officially their car at that point - you have no more interest in it - so it’s different from the stuka example where your car is in for service.
No loans. $10k is the cash owed to me.

Their email indicates that getting it is conditional, this makes me have an "interest" in the car after I leave it on their lot.

Insurance risk? True that wouldn't be on me, my bad for bringing that in. But if they have an accident or other calamity (it gets hit on their lot, tree branch whatever), they would likely not get paid the full amount. What is my trade then? Why should I wait (slightly on edge) to get paid? I want everything done in one day, I don't mind doing driving/legwork if my cash is at risk.
