Answer 2

Advertise the car. Do not let anyone drive it without you in it. Do not get into the car with someone you feel uncomfortable with; do not get in the car with more than one person. Sit in the passenger seat and be ready to remove the keys from the ignition if you have to. Remember this usually locks the steering wheel so have your seat belt on.

Assuming you find a decent buyer, write out a bill of sale that says the car is being sold "as is" for $x on the date you actually sell it to the person. Put their name and address on it as the buyer and your name as the seller. When you are going to get the money from them and sign the bill of sale, do so at their bank and accept only cash you see a teller give them or a bank check/cashiers check that you see the teller make out.

If the buyer balks at any of this say the care is no longer for sale you have changed you mind and drive away to sell another day.

Answer 3

If it is a concern, do not accept checks, as they can bounce. Money orders are good because its like a garanteed check. But Cash is good too of course. If you are afraid of fraud in the sense that the money is fake, then buy a marker to check for fake/real cash, then only take cash. THis is of course assuming that the sale will be in person.

Answer 4

Remember that a good sale works two ways...

1) Ask a fair price for your car
2) Expect to haggle a bit but stick with your basic target
3) Ask for cash or Release the car and ownership only when the check clears Remember that checks - even money orders can be phoney and will take a week or two to bounce.

4) Make sure the transfer papers are signed and mailed in (you are on the hook for accidents until they are).

5) Notify your insurance company promptly once the car is sold.

First look at the "Blue Book" value to see how much you should ask for your car. Always take CASH nothing else >>>> Never allow buyer to test drive unless you go with him and make sure he has insurance. Never sign over thr car until you have been paid in FULL and never never sell to a friend.
