I sold my old van last summer. The buyer paid me in $100 bills; it never occurred to me to suspect counterfeit. If it were a lot of money, I'd have taken a bank check. I had him sign two copies of an "As Is" bill of sale (with an indemnity clause, as the frame was dangerously rusted), signed over the title, and he drove it off.
In Massachusetts you have to turn in the plates, so I kept them and took them to my insurance agency the next day. The buyer has to pay sales tax when he registers the vehicle; if there's no bill of sale, the Registry charges blue-book value.
