I know most suggest certified check, but those are easy to scam today anyway. (You need to call the back to verify, and find the bank number from Google, and confirm its a real bank.)
Best way is to escort him to his bank, do the title work there and maybe have them direct deposit into yours.
I did demand cash from a buyer once and ended up with a huge pile of $100 bills. Counting them correctly was bad enough and then it made me nervous with carrying that much to our bank, so.....
