i know ... craig list, buysell etc.

my question is about the logistics ... i.e. if a stranger calls, where to meet (not my home, for example), how to ensure my own safety, certified cheque/cash ... etc.

i'm not buying ... right now .. with the baby and job relocation, we are all in Richmond, and one car is good enough.  for the past 12 months ... we are going out together 95% of the time.

Yes .. my private life is long gone ...

When I sold my car (3 years old Audi A4), I met the buyer outside my home. I don't feel unsafe maybe because I asked my husband to come with me. When he test drive my car, we asked for his driver's license and we wrote down the details. We also went with him. As for the final transaction, I asked him to pay by certified cheque with my name on it... and everything worked out great.

- show them your maintenance record
- don't promise any warranty, sell the car as is

Just as totori had said...meet at your home is fine and get certified cheque or CASH..

If you're selling an expensive car becareful with test driving though..make sure the guy has a VALID license and ask if he has any car that's insured under his name.

Once you're ready for exchange, just head to any auto insurance place to fill out the form.
