LOL. Of course!

Mileage depends on your lead-footedness. I drive everywhere in Sport in stop-and-go city traffic. That can be as low as 14 MPG. Highway is typically low-30s.

I may have a guy coming this weekend, though. Through BMWCCA. Stay tuned.

I guess the buyer is expected to complete the paperwork with you, travel home, wait for tags, then retrieve the car.

Having a trailer sure makes life easy sometimes.

That's pretty much where my thinking is at present. Yeesh. Much prefer local sales.

yeah I have only sold cars to people in state.

In CA it is just get the money, sign over pink slip and then fill out a release of liability form.

GA allows the buyer to literally put a piece of paper in the license plate spot that says "Tag Applied For"...

Crazy.

AZ has a very simple 3-day restricted use permit that can be purchased online and printed out to put on the car...

Wow. That's great of AZ (and LOL GA). Buyer is figuring it out. I am not comfortable leaving my plates on the car. Anyway, cautiously optimistic. He is motivated.

And AF, I'm with you about getting the cars gone when the decision is made to sell them. We have a three-car garage, but only room to park two cars. So the wagon is clogging up the driveway. With a potential buyer coming, I won't drive it anywhere.

Why not? If he insures it, and you make some sort of legalese Bill of Sale.

When I sold my Volvo RV hauler, I let the new owner drive it home with my plates and registration, he mailed them back to me when he got it home.

I'd rather get ahead of problems than have to fix them later...If that's even possible.
