Well yeah, he would expect a copy of the title to show your really own this car. Your address will be on the title, so you can either give that to him or meet somewhere else to complete the transfer.

Demand the certified check, NEVER NEVER NEVER allow a purchase of this size with a personal check.

You can sign the title over, also draw up a Bill of Sale with the VIN and price along with the line "no warranty given or assumed". Both of you should sign the BOS and have it notarized, each of you getting a copy.

You do not have to go to the DMV with him.
