Being with them doesn't resolve the issue of liability if they smash it.

Go, in the driver's seat.I didn't once and a tyre kicker messed up the 4wd on my Nissan Patrol for sale.

The intention all along is that i wil be going with whoever takes it for a spin.But smac is right, it's the liability issue I'm trying to find a way to manage my risk for.

Life is always a gamble.If you don't like it ring up the insurers and pay them more money or take the small risk That's the only way

Theres always a risk-unless they agreethat they bend it they bought it-but even then -a dead man aint paying ya nuffing.

Forget about signed waivers, liability forms etc. Just talk to them.
IF someone under 25 comes to look at it, explain that you can take them for a drive in it but (s)he can't have a test drive because of insurance issues. (S)he might be perfectly happy with that, in which case, there's no problem.
And who knows, maybe no-one under 25 will even come to look at it, in which case there's no problem.

A mercedes I was selling once, I went with the guy and he cained the ares of it. I was ready to tell him to get out. The end of the story was he did not buy and was no more than a tyre kicker.

you always go with a test driver as you dont want them to speed or do burnouts, or even disapear for good with your car.

I've always been lucky when selling, I've only had couple do test drives and they both were over 25yrs and one was on behalf of a under 25yr old. I've sold to someone who bought without a test drive. Heck I myself, bought once sight unseen, just pics over the net and another I had a mate drive it for me. I alway figured if something was broke, I'd fix it.

In the old days potential buyers were genuine and could drive, insurance covered everyone and the roads weren't busy.now the opposite is the case! Test driving from the passengers seat is the way to go now!

487579681. No test pilots - no problem taking you for a drive but given my insurance will not cover you then its me who is driving - no exceptions. :)
