 Selling Dad’s car - Bobby
As mentioned elsewhere, unless the insurance renewal is preferential, then my 92 year old dad is giving up driving and so looking to sell his 2012 Nissan Note automatic.

He got it in 2015 for £6500 at 15000 miles and 8 years later, it is now at 37000 miles.

Looking at autotrader prices, well they are nuts. A few pretty much exact matches are between £6200 and £7000 !

WBAC are quoting £4k though the car has 4 scraped alloys and a couple bumper scuffs which will bring that down more.

Tempted to try punting it at £5k on private pages but do not want any comeback on my dad who lives alone so don’t want any chap on his door from a disgruntled buyer (though there is nothing known about the car to cause this)

Or WBAC route which is clean and gets it off his hands.

If selling privately, how do you deal with payment nowadays? Bank transfer standing in the driveway with the buyer and their card reader? And then remove from the account it is paid into straight away to prevent any form of fraud recall?
