I have done it a few times - once as a seller, once as a buyer - previously I had always used cashiers checks. The money actually clears faster with a wire. I recommend it. But agree the key is to have a bill of sale and the wire transfer details documented and notarized. Most bank branches have a notary so they can set this all up at once. It's best to both be in person, but that's not always feasible. I was sweating bullets when the buyer drove off in my car before the $37K showed up in my account - but sure enough it was there within a few hours. Do it early in the day if possible - cutoff time is somewhere 11AM-1PM on the west coast depending on bank.
