Need advice for selling used car

Jane
6 years ago

I’m thinking about selling my extra car. I’m not sure how to go about the transaction. I can figure out the price.


I was advised to put an ad on craigs list, then meet the buyer at a grocery store or bank to deposit the cash.


The questions I have are:

(1) How do I let the buyer test drive the car? Do I get in the passenger seat with someone I don’t know? If I let them drive on their own I’m concerned they might steal the car. There is no one else who will help with the transaction and the car is a two-seater anyway.

(2) What should the order of the transaction be? Test drive with me in car, who drives to bank to deposit cash, who drives to dmv to switch title (I was strongly advised to do this in person per my Dad), how do I get home. I’m thinking we will do all of this in the car but I’m not sure who should drive where. All of this can be done within 6 miles of my home, and I can walk home from a public location within a mile of my house.


Thanks for any advice.
