I would call your bank and specifically ask them how long it should take. It was a holiday weekend and things may be a bit slow.

As long as you still have the title you should be o.k., Since it was a holiday weekend it should be a bit longer for the bank to process the transfer.

How do you know he wire transferred it? Do you have some confirmation number or a printed receipt? Please tell me you did not give him the car and title before you had the money?

Did you do a title transfer? In most states that means he had to show a notary his driver's license. Get his address from the notary and be ready to sick the cops on him if the money does not appear in your account by Friday morning (that's 3 business days).

Don't cancel your car insurance until you have the money. If this is a scam (and I hope its not), then report it to the police - its theft by deception and fraud. Then take the police report to your insurance company and get some recompense.

Good luck
Alan

As long as you have the title, you are OK>
Once the money hits your account, move it to another account and keep amounts in the receiving account extremely low [so they can't remove the money]
Keep your For Sale listings active until the bucks are in.
