    in my case i did a nationwide search for the best dealer and the best deal...and my buddy talked to his sales boss and they came up with a sweetheart deal for me which blew all other offers cross the country...even ones here in cali...and since i found a buyer for my R53 in Tampa...so i can turn right around and go to the dealership in at MINI of Tampa Bay and roll out with my new shiny toy

    You might want to ask your buyer if they want an 'in-and-out'. My dealership in Dallas did one for me when I bought a MINI back in 2006. You technically sell your car to the dealership, who then sells it to the new buyer. That way it's all above board and both sides might feel more at ease. The dealership will also help with all of the tax,tag, title paperwork. I think they usually charge $100-150, but I got 'em to throw it in as a part of the transaction on the new car.

    Just a thought!
