+1000 on report as stolen and get with Capitol one investigative departmant. When I sold my Stang last year the guy did the same thing with a Capitol One Check like that and flew in to pick up the car. On the test drive I had him stop at Capitol One bank and I cashed it then gave him the title. I knew a Certified Check can be stopped if you have the reciept and it hasnt been cashed already which is why there was no freaking way he was driving off without the cash in my pocket.
I am verry sorry for you and belive you will get money or the car back. Oh yeah, call your insurance company ASAP!

A Capital One loan check is not certified. The dude scammed him and the car is stolen. What a "0" post newbie is doing here asking this question is beyond me. If this situation is real, get off the computer and get on the phone to your local police and the FBI (since it is an interstate theft).

well I feel sorry for y, because that car will be more than likely stripped and parted out, sorry man you walked right into it, next time YOU have the BUYER come to you with either a cashiers check or cash..
get the vin num and track it, maybe there is something you can do legally get a legal person and try to get it back (which prolly wont happen). especially in fla, **** dissapears, and sometimes grows legs and runs away, aka alot of nasty stuff has come out of fla...
again sorry for your misfortune, but I have to say you just gave your car away, and will never get it back most likely...

Is this the wonderful experience Darkwriter and killer50stang were talking about with private sale cars? To the OP, turn his ass into the IRS. Although, I suspect that the guy stole a check out of the mail and your car is in about 100 peices.

In just 10 years, I'll be old enough to drive!!!!
Huh? What "wonderful experience" are you talking about?
The only crappy one I've had lately is with The Chubby, but I already knew the thing was pretty much a turd when I was only buying the thing for $350 - even if the motor up and puked completely, I could've still parted it out and made back my money. (As it turns out, I have right at about $1,000 total in it, it's smogged and tagged, and all I need now is 2 tires and a wiper motor to start DD'ing it. 
)I always buy and sell my cars with cash - ALWAYS. I tend to go a step further and make sure the $100 bills have the right watermark on 'em, too, as I've heard of people acid-washing $1 and $5 bills to make counterfeit hundreds. But then again, I've never dealt with $18k cars, so verifying the authenticity of fifteen or twenty $100 bills doesn't take long.

I wouldnt bet on that. If it was SOLD and then you found you were defrauded. I woud think its still stolen. Prolly would be some red tape there.
Actually now that I think about it you are right, a situation like this would fall under check fraud, not auto theft.
I remember a friend of mine a while back brought his car to some random body shop and they took the car for a joy ride. She reported it stolen but the police kept saying something about it not being "theft" if she handed them the keys. So technically they hadn't done anything to change ownership of the vehicle by driving it. She got it back all messed up and had to sue to get the money for repairs.
However, if he tries to change ownership by getting the title in his name with NO police report given to the vehicle, he may just get away with it. But as mentioned before, if this story is true the car is on it's way out of the country or is in pieces by now anyway.
I am thinking that if this story is true, it isn't a matter of some random guy just pulling an idea like this out of his ass in order to get a new car. I imagine it is a scam in it's purest form and has been done many times before with success.

I was referring to your rant about stealerships and how you'd always rather do private party sales in killer50stang's thread. j/k anyway. Good idea with the cash though.
