Both a personal and bank check will work fine, either way you just have to wait for them to clear.

The problem with Cashier's checks is they are frequently forged. Like the one I posted earlier in this thread. Looks authentic, but not worth the paper it's printed on.

You are exactly right. When I sold my C6 last year I had a guy call me from Alabama - he was about two hours from me - and ask me if I would take a cashier's check. I asked him from which bank. He gave me a bank name and I quickly looked it up. It was a small town bank not even near where this guy was calling from. He insisted I take it and told me he would come that day to pick up the car with the check. I told him to have his bank call me and I would give them wiring instructions. He told me if I wouldn't take the check then no deal. I told him I wouldn't take the check and he hung up on me. These checks are easily forged and the only way I will take one is if I meet the buyer at the bank and watch the banker cut the check.
