Thanks!

Considering I paid $11.5K 4.5 years ago I'll take the super fast sale over trying to squeeze a few more hundred and dealing with tire kickers for weeks.

Used car market has gone up... Kudos to you for not trying to squeeze very dollar, sometimes that first guy is the best buyer, they have been looking for exactly your car and know they want it... These sales can end up turning into headaches; and you get a fastest sale ever story.

Nice! I showed my wife and we briefly entertained the idea...she loves Miatas. Glad you sold it for asking!

Wait until the funds clear, not just confirming the check is good. Husband just sold his S2000 and the scammers came out of the woodwork. Even cashiers checks are suspect these days.

Last time I bought a car private party, the seller was nervous about cashier's checks. I didn't want to carry that much cash.

I proposed that he *watch* me get the cashier's check at a bank near him. I think that we were all ultimately happiest with that solution.
