Thanks for the update.
I'm guessing “Examine the title” means check Carfax (or one of their many cheaper competitors)?
Also, not sure why I wouldn't want to buy from a friend or relative. I'd know the true history of the car (reliability, maintenance, and repair) which of course is quite valuable.
That said, for me, selling to a friend or relative is a different matter.
When I buy used I know I am taking my chances. But not everyone sees it that way, I'd not enjoy getting the stink eye from family or friends because the car I sold them wasn't as reliable as we both would have hoped.
