I am going shopping in the city for a car next week, not from a car yard, just a private sale. I have found several cars I like in classifieds on the net, of varying prices & all in the city, which I am going to take the day to inspect them all & hopefully come home with new a car!
The only problem is, I don't know how much I will be spending & I don't want to carry around thousands & thousands of dollars all day, in case something happens or I get mugged or something! I've only just thought of it coz originally I thought I would go looking & if I decided on a car & a price, I'd just go get the money out of the bank, but I've just remembered that both of my financial institutions are only in my town & have no branches in the city (which is about 3hrs away!)
I can't get it out of the atm coz the max you can get in one day is $1000. And I don't know how much the car might cost to write a cheque plus I know if I was selling a car to a stranger, I would not accept a cheque anyway, so maybe other people wouldn't either.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do, remembering that random people who I don't know will not be trusting of me if I try to make a payment that they can't see with their own eyes?
Thanks!
