My son may be looking to sell his car privately as he has a chance of getting a great car from a colleague at a favourable price.
What are the dos and don'ts of this?
It is a 9 year old Fiesta Zetec S, so not going to appeal to the high end con thief but more likely to folk his age, another youngster looking to get a car that's a bit more than the basic Fiesta but not overly dear on insurance.
Currently he is the only one insured to drive it.
As a seller, my thoughts are you can't let anyone else drive it as not insured. As a buyer, I wouldn't be happy buying a car without driving it myself? How do you get round this?
Payment - I guess at this price, sub £3k, there is a chance it will be a bag of readies but if not, what is best way of transferring the money? Bank transfer there and then? So if money appears in his account can it be subsequently removed again by the buyer or their bank?
I realise a lot will be gained by just looking into the whites of their eyes and making a decision from there but any pointers would be appreciated.
Cheers
