Rule for test drives when selling your car?

[JVR1]

Looking for the best rule of thumb when selling a car.. I'm looking to get rid of my car (2001 'lude) soon and probably going to sell it privately so i can hopefully make a couple more bucks..

If someone comes to test drive, do you think i should ride along or let them take it on their own? (this is all after of course taking their driver's license info)

any suggestions appreciated..

Yeah, agree but, for me, I say it depends on the person...if they're in they're mid 30's - and above..I say let them take it on their own...but if its 25 and under...go with them..cuz u know how we are at that age lol..

for insurance purposes alone id go with them regardless... i dont care if the guy's Ralph Klein!!

They guy who bought my truck I let go alone as he was with his
Dad. But the shady looking guy that came before him I went with as I didnt trust him at all.

here, have the keys to my 1978 Lada Samara...while I take your 5G Lude out for a "test drive"

When I bought my car, I was with my buddy and my dad.. the dude was pretty trusting, but I doubt i'd let some punk kid drive in my car alone. It would depend on the person.

well, depends on suituation. like where he went a spin or what kinda weather is that? no matter u got his key, his driving license, if he crash it, he don't buy it, u cry, b'coz u've to eat all that shit.....so just beware.

for insurance side, they won't care u lend it to someone to let someone take the car like test drive never come back....

good luck guys.......

Take a look at your insurance coverage. When I sold my car I would not let anyone under 25 test drive it, as they would not be covered under my insurance.

I did sell it to someone under 25 also....took him for a ride in the car the first time, then his father came back with him and test drove it.
