I am selling my car “not trading it in” to a big name dealer in okc.
It is paid off, was originally paid for with cash so never a lien on it.
They said they can’t give me a check for 48 hours because they have to run some sort of report to ensure no other liens or loans were taken on the car but not reported.
Does this sound legitimate or like some bull that will end with me coming to get a check for less than promised 48 hours later when the car is long gone? I don’t know about signing the title over to them without getting paid.

They can run any checks they want before you sign it over! Tell em if they need 48hrs to run their check that you'll sign the car over at that time. I don't let folks play on my dime. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.
Also, you have the offer in writing don't ya? I don't know if you're in a hurry to sell but if you've got a dealer willing to buy from ya without trading.....ya might be leaving some meat on the bone.
