What is the normal method of payment! They don't know me so it would seem strange to ask them to transfer that much money into my account! Any tips! Thanks

saffa2, Jan 28, 3:53pm
cash

Ok thanks!

Would it be reasonable to ask for a deposit! Buyers come and go, right!

If they're coming to pick it up, cash or a bank draft. Also make sure they change the ownership before they come and get them to bring the receipt (will have a little tag like a vehicle tax disc stating it's been transfered into their name). Have known a few people get stung badly from parking/speed camera fines due to not checking.

Or do it online while buyers are there,need drivers license and a credit card

Yep yep, I guess I'm too old fashioned for this net stuff lol. As long as you know they've done it being the main point, just don't take their word.
