They will have no way to get to your bank account if you give them the routing # this is just to get$$to your bank and your bank will deposit it into your account, I just went through this with my bank and asked lots of questions, we were going to open a separate account to do the car transactions and after sitting down with the account manager at our bank she assured us that no way can they get into an account or take money out of an account w/routing # information given out to someone. so we used an existing account. and also do not accept money orders either unless they are US Postal service, if the $$ are in a bank check make sure the funds clear and are secure in your account before releasing anything including title or paperwork this usually takes 5-7 business days, I just call my bank and see exactly when it is clear (not when it is deposited but when it is in fact cleared)
