First thing I noticed is you are not meeting seller at the V5 address.

He might live on the village square :-)

Seriously though, I've found it a good idea to take a list of questions as its easy to get distracted and forget important things. I got caught out with the Viano forgetting to check there were 2 keys before it was to late. Not a big issue, but could have used it to barter down a bit more

I sold my Skoda, X1 and 3 Series on Ebay as well as at least two if not three bikes. Never a problem. Basic precautions. I met the buyer of the Roomie at a hotel near Chester Railway Station. I had a minder with me ! That was a cash sale. The X1 was bought from my home - buyer paid cash (Scottish 50s...!) and the 3 series was sold from here. The buyer paid me by bank transfer 3 days before he had it - trust is a two way street. Never had a problem..basic precautions.
