The only safe approach would be to do the transaction at your bank. Withdraw the cash, accept the title, and do it all under bank surveillance cameras.

I bought a car from a doctor who most likely would not have had the time to got to a bank. I wanted the car. I drove it. I took out the cash and counted it out and drove off with the car.
Another time, I got the seller to meet me at the bank and the teller counted out the money into his hand.
On another occasion, I handled the cash for a seller in Israel and took the cash to his bank. The teller refused to take the cash because, “I’m not authorized to take that much cash.” I leaned forward and whispered, “Then find someone who is. I’ll wait.”
