I have sold many cars and never been asked for a copy of my license or to sign a 'Power of Attorney' form. Does this sound normal to anyone or does it sound like some type of a scam?
Thank you!!!

it may not be normal but it is good that the buyer wants some security: An ID to help determine if you can legally sell the car and POA to allow the buyer to transfer the title to someone else without putting his or her name on it.

Power of Attorney, Are you in the Military? Well I wouldn't give power of attorney to my mother much less a stranger. Power of Attorney gives that person rights to do any kind of legal action such as making bank withdrawals and filling credit card apps in your name. So I'd say "Hell to the No" to whoever is telling you this BS. Run while you still can!

it sounds like a scam to me. whatever you do do NOT give the person a power of attorney, they can do whatever they want with it and really screw you over. and i dont see why they would need a copy of your drivers license. dont give them either. just sell the car to someone else.

no why would they need power of attorney that's only for someone to be able to make decisions for you if you become incompetent and couldn't make the decision yourself. there's no way I'd ever do that i know a few people that work for car lots and I've never heard of anything like that.

Absolutely; the person buying the car needs to know who you are; imagine someone stole your car and went out and sold it...wouldn't you want the buyer to say - here's their license?
