Question: I am selling my car on Craigslist...?

( Back )

Answer #1:

You're not a dealer and the person can either steal your car or drive it and have an accident. Unless you live on a dead end street and can watch closely, I would go with the person.

Answer #2:

hold their car keys or ride along have to trust your feeling
looks like a thug ride along or say im sorry its sold
man and wife and a kid let them go hold their car keys

Answer #3:

Unless you can afford to lose the car, go with them.

That said, I sold cars for 15+ years and only rarely went with the prospective buyer.
(Unless they just looked shady to me)

Never lost one but several took really long test drives and I got concerned.

Nobody is going to think twice about you going with them, Its your car.

Answer #4:

Get his driver's license. Make sure it matches his face. No more than 15 minutes and call the cops. have very little gas in it.

Better yet have a great big man go with him. Pay him if you have to. Don't get in that car.

Answer #5:

Go with. Sit in the passenger seat. You can stay quiet unless they ask you questions. Most dealers I've test driven have come with. The one that didn't turned out to be lying.

Def. get a copy of his license before you go, this is standard, too. Let a friend know what's going on, just in case.

Answer #6:

Appropriate for me is to accompany the test drive.

Answer #7:

I bought two cars in craigslist and one time I rode it with the owner next to and the other time the guy ask me for my car's key ,I mean the one I get to his house

Answer #8:

I wouldnt let my car out of my sight.
If you hand the keys to someone, what is to stop them from just stealing the car?

Since you are a young girl, I would also suggest you take a guy friend along, if possible.
You dont know these people from Adam - someone could pretend to be interested in the car, drive you to a secluded spot, and then attack you.

I had a friend in college who had something similar happen to her, and they just found the body of a gal your age who was attacked while jogging at a lake not far from here.
