Selling a car privately

[StopTheEarthIwantToGetOff]

why not just sell it on ebay?

Invite the buyer round, tell him to stand in front of the car so you can show him something, drive over his feet, and say very loudly "DON'T WASTE MY TIME".

HTH

Most cars I've owned have generally started out as 3-4K second hand motors which I've run into the ground and I think I've given away two cars to date, scrapped two, written off one. I think I've only ever sold two cars, one because I hated it shortly after buying it and one because I was skint (from the days of permidom). (Includes the missus cars too).

A bloke is interested and proposes making a bank to bank payment in person at the nearest Barclays.

Do I have to wait until the money appears in my account or is it good as soon as it is sent?

My bank usually takes about 10 months for a payment to clear, even though it is two computers connected together and the electrons only take 5 nanoseconds to make the payment. Got to love bs and their systems.

Trade it in for a new car and let the dealer take all the hassle.

Pleasant idea if the stealer was willing to make a sensible (to me) Part-Ex offer for the car.

10.5k so far, seen them on garage forecourt for 14k, I'd be happy somewhere in the middle.

Oh great.

I'm selling my car at the moment, this is a really encouraging thread!!

Don't worry, they just rumbled DP as a soft touch when they saw a man selling a pink car.

£2K under the dealer price is about right; £3.5K is way off. Ask them to reduce the price of the sale car by £1500.
