This happens all the time. (People wiring money for the purchase of a vehicle) I actually just did this to purchase my Camaro. It was a private seller in MI and I'm in WI. I had to have the car shipped too. He did not send me the title until he verified the money was wired into his account. It's a trust thing. If you were a seller would you send someone the title to your car signed before receiving payment? If you don't feel comfortable then don't do it. Since you are posting this on here, I'm assuming you don't feel comfortable. My credit union tried to also stop me from doing it. I talked to the seller for over an hour all about the car. I looked him up on many sites. I was 100% comfortable with wiring him the funds to buy the car. He sent the title the same day after the funds were in his account. Then I lined up shipping. No issues at all. Not everything is a SCAM and yes, it pays to do your homework. Matter of fact I actually still keep in touch with the seller. He'a car guy, I'm a car guy.
