I think it comes down to the demographics of what you are selling. An M2, a WRX, Mitsu Evo, etc. are going to attract a certain number of late 20s kids and somewhat sketchy types. I dunno, I just don't want them poking around my house, my garage, driving my car, etc. The last car I sold private party was my 2004 Acura TSX. A kid showed up with 2 of his friends, all kinda sketchy looking. He had paper bags filled with $12,000 worth of $100 bills. It all ended up fine but it just felt weird. For a car that's going to command north of $40k I just dont want the risk of a fake cashiers check, dealing with cash, etc. It's admittedly part paranoia and part laziness on my part.
