i am only asking this because i am selling my used car privately and i'm just worried about people scamming me etc.. nothing is wrong with the car and i don't really care who drove it but there's no insurance on it since we're trying to sell it, how should i go about this if they ask to take it for a ride
you should let them drive it yes just ask to hold something like their car keys or id
You should keep insurance on the car as long as you own it. It does not matter that you are trying to sell it, you still need to have insurance on it.
I have sold a couple of cars and always let the potential buyers drive them. I don't think anyone would want to buy a car that they had not driven. There is risk involved in selling a car yourself. The reward is you get more money. If you don't want that risk then sell it to a used car dealer.
First tell them, There Is No Insurance on it. If they have FULL COVERAGE insurance on there car there insurance would cover it. Yes let them drive it. I would never bye a car with out doing so. But when i sell a car the best thing to do is ask them to hold there drivers license, then you have there full name, address, picture Etc. All Legitimate people are glad to do so. I hope this will out some, Good Luck on the sale!
Only an idiot would a used car without driving it first. You have to let them drive it. Keep insurance on it until you transfer ownership.
You have to let them take a test drive if you expect to sell it, but it's perfectly acceptable to ride along with them and tell them exactly where to go, just like at a dealership.
