FabSwingers.com forum: selling a car privately

By (user no longer on site) OP

What is the safest form of payment from a potential buyer ?

Do they still do bankers drafts or have bank transfers replaced them these days ?

Are there safer methods (from the sellers perspective) ?

Do people actually buy privately these days or go to dealers ?

I am talking 8 to 9 grand so not a bargain basement purchase

Bank transfer so you can trace to money if something goes wrong

hiya I've been in the car game all my life mostly repairs but when the right care come up I can smell a profit a mile away. if its a good car at a good price you will sell it the problem you've got is your price bracket selling at 8/9 grand private its ever got to be a bargain or something special. think about it if you was buying an you have pound notes your in an ideal position an your not going to part with your cash with no come back or garentee unless your saving a good amount. as for payment you cant beat cold hard cash but bank transfers are just as good I just prefer cash.

as your in manchester mail me some details if you like doesn't sound like something id buy but iv plenty of contacts might up to you mate but if I can help I will

I would say, Bank transfer is by far the safest, too many 'dodgy ' notes around, and I would hate to think you could end up with a lot more thn you bargained for owing to a 'dodgy deal'

around our way, I have heard that you can get a good fake 20 for a fiver !! just think of the saving some unscrupulous guy could make. !
