Scam. All you have is copies of paperwork which mean nothing. Only way I would do it is if I had cash in hand. If they agree to have someone bring cash, don't do it. They'll want to meet in a public place (police station or bank) so you feel comfortable. You go and then they don't show up. Except they are there but you don't know who they are. They will follow you and strong arm steal the car somewhere else. If they do bring the cash, they can do the same. This is one of the biggest scams with cars on Craigslist. Police in KC investigate 5-7 of these a week.
As for cashing their check 1st and waiting for it to clear - Of course, the check they have sent you is fake, but the bank will often cash it and then discover the fraud later. By that time, you're out of pocket, and the scammer's pockets are full of your money. If you still have doubts go with your instinct and don't do it.
