Cash wise, you can always get them to bank transfer, or turn up with a bank draft.

Don't think a cheque can be reversed, but it will take time to clear.

Out of interest, what are you hoping to get for the car? How old is it? how many miles? And what are you getting next?

Im not selling it for a couple of months yet, its a 59 plate, about 8.5k miles, and I'm going for a dodge viper next =)

 

Bankers draft or electronic transfer for the private sale :thumbs:

 

I've sold my last 3 cars privately - Clio F1, S2000 & Clio Cup.

I had no problems with selling them, test drives, tyre kickers or payment process.

The only problem I had was time to sell the car, cost of advertising and keeping it continuously clean etc.

All my cars have been pretty rare in the whole scheme of things, so not on everyone's wish list (ie not German ). Therefore if you get 3+ interested buyers then you should sell the car.

I have always made sure my car has HPI Certificate, RAC Mechanical inspection and in excellent condition. If you are honest then it will completely obvious to potential punters.

Take £150 deposit, with 95% value of sale price as a bankers draft or cleared electronic transfer, then they can bring along 5% in cash for negotiation - which hopefully you will keep :thumbs:

I hope this helps but I have not sold an Alfa privately and I think most punters might be hesitant - so even more reason to have everything in place :thumbs:
