[quote=Blogstar][quote=squat250]im scared of liability during any test drive. Also i’m scared of getting carjacked. or robbed by someone responding to my ad. Also i’m scared of having anyone over my house but also too tired to meet anywhere else.
I guess I’m not really up to selling a used car.
you know, in the old days, i never thought about virtually any possible consequences or risks of anything…[/quote]
Most of those things seem valid. I don’t like giving random people an invitation to be around my house and family. Many respondents on craigslist are casing houses.[/quote]
When I sold one of my older Acura’s. I made the person meet at my office. I had the guy walk into my lobby where they had security cameras posted. I asked the guy for his drivers license and I asked him for permission to make a photocopy of it, explaining it to him, that I I will leave the copy with the security guard and he can have it back after the test drive, and that it’s no different from any other dealership who does the same thing. I said it was for my safety. For his safety, I had the security guard id me. I haven’t had anyone object to this, because it was reasonable. If anyone does balk at this, move on…
