Whats the safest way to trade wheels across state lines?

[SonicBlur]

I found a person that wants to trade for my GT500 wheels and tires but he is about 12 hours away from me, and even by meeting halfway, that is still a journey. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what the safest way is to get this trade done? There is no money involved, straight-up trade.

I'm sure the guy is honest and everything (and I have NEVER screwed someone over) but in this day and age you can never be too cautious. I'm sure he has the same reservations as me, he doesn't know me.

you won't be certain unless you make the drive yourself.... unless you can find a friend that will travel for you in my opinion.

Do you know anyone it that state? Maybe a friend or family member could work with you on that trade!

Road trip!!!!

what state are you meeting in.. I can provide armored service.


I honestly wouldnt do it. say your 3 hours into drive, he calls says he cant make it or something happened or he got cold feet... now your 6 hours out on a limb

i have bought many vehicles and parts in states.. never had any issues with anyone. it's just a chance you have to take but if you talk to the guy and he doesnt seem shady, you will prob be fine.. i have never been screwed and never screwed anyone..people do it all the time. i had a guy fly here to buy a jeep off me once

Sounds like a road trip is in order... It's the safest way... this way if you see his stuff and it isn;t exactly what he said, you can still back out.

I dont get the big deal here....you meet the guy when there's light outside, you take your women or a bro with ya so your not sitting in your car the whole time bored and you make a weekend roadtrip out of it. Google shit to see on your way.

Definately wouldnt take mah woman. Usually when I meet people just off Craigslist I bring a buddy and have another truck somewhere close by with more people in it. Most of the time though I'll open carry when meeting face to face.

Well this guy hasn't gotten back to me in a while so I assume he's lost interest. I can't get off of work to go meet him so that's why I can't just waste 12 hours (6 there and 6 back).

Thanks for the suggestions.
