Buying vehicles in San Bernardino
San Bernardino sits inland at the foot of the mountains, historically a railway town and now a logistics centre, with a national forest and ski resorts directly above it. Summers on the valley floor are very hot.
Vehicles and the larger parts that go with them are collected in person by definition, and the paperwork matters as much as the metal. This is the category where taking your time at the handover is most obviously worth it.
What to check in person

Collecting it in San Bernardino
