I have sold two cars via private party. One was pretty cheap and sold for $1500 so they just paid me cash and the other was for around $4500. We had a deal that they would come out and test drive it and if they liked it they would give me a cash deposit and then we would all got to the bank together and get a cashiers check. Luckily, their bank had a branch in my town so it worked out pretty easily.
Just make sure to not sign the title over until you have money in your hand. Depending on the amount you could probably insist on some kind of bank transfer or just tell them you want to go with them to the bank to get the money so you know it is on the up and up.
