2011 Lincoln MKS Twin Turbo AWD - $12k, Houston, TX

Heading out in a bit to figure out how this works.

As far as transferring the funds, do we just use our banks as the middle man?

I'm guessing my bank tells your bank the funds are allocated, car and title shipped then funds transferred upon arrival?

Looks like 550 to ship open and 850 covered....not sure covered makes sense for an $11000 car.

Usually banks wont be that involved as they dont want the liability as an escrow agent.

Typically what I do is retain part of the vehicle until payment is in full. For example, you arrange shipping, on day of pickup, you provide half the amount as a deposit, once it is confirmed picked up, you send the other half, once I have confirmed all money has fully cleared, I overnight the title via fed ex.

Theres other ways, thats just one example.

Also, fyi for the warranty transfer process:

11A. TRANSFERABILITY: You may transfer the remaining coverage of the Vehicle
under this Agreement, if You pay Us a $75 transfer fee and if You or the transferee
of this Agreement initiates the transfer process and provides the following items to
any Ford or Lincoln dealership or Us at P.O. Box 6045, Dearborn, Michigan 48121
within 180 days of the vehicle sale:
(i) a letter, signed by You, transferring this Agreement to the transferee;
(ii) a statement of the mileage on the Vehicle at the time of transfer; and
(iii) the name and address of the transferee;
You may not transfer coverage if the Vehicle becomes a Branded Vehicle or is
repossessed. Transferred Agreements may not be cancelled.

The Rand one is starting to peel on the edges, but the "taxation is theft" sticker is still ready to rock and roll for a long time

I haven't bought a used car in about 17 years and never out of state or shipped...

I was a little anxious about the process at first but once everything got figured out it was actually pretty simple.

Jason was very helpful walking me through the process so I'm pretty excited about future online purchase options.

I'm super excited to have 2 EcoBeasts in the garage.
