👉 Avoid Wasting Time with Non-Serious Buyers When Selling Your Car Privately

✔ You Will Get Inquiries from People Who Aren’t Serious Buyers:
Many people, including many dealers, are only contacting you to see if they can score a sweet deal and aren’t severe buyers or might even be scammers.

✔ How to Avoid Time-Wasters and Scammers with Good Screening:
A few simple questions will quickly reveal who the time-waster and scammer are.

✔ The Tangled Webs Scammers Weave:
Learn about some of the most common scams so you can be on high alert to quickly w**d them out.

👉 Avoid Stranger Danger When Selling Your Car

✔ Serious Problems are Rare but Can Happen:
Don’t have complete strangers come to your home to see the car because they could have bad intentions.

✔ How to Stay Safe When Selling Your Car Privately:
Don’t give out your personal information. Always meet in public places like store parking lots with video surveillance cameras.

👉 Avoid Getting Scammed: Safe Forms of Payment

✔ How Scammers Fake Payments:
Cash could be counterfeit. A personal check could bounce. A cashier’s check can be faked. A wire transfer may never materialize.

✔ How to Avoid Scams with Safe Ways to Accept Payments:
Have buyers meet you at your bank to make payment and never give your car to the buyer until payment has fully cleared.

👉 Avoid Fraud Claims After Selling

✔ Your Liability When Selling “As-is”:
Even though you’re selling “as is,” a disgruntled buyer could still sue you if there’s something wrong with the car.

✔ How to Avoid a Fraud Claim:
Be honest about anything wrong with the car or repairs you know need to be done and disclose those in the Bill of Sale.

👉 Avoid Post-Sale Liabilities by Completing Change of Ownership

✔ What Happens After Selling Could Still be Your Headache:
Until the buyer registers the car they bought from you, it’s still yours, and you could be held liable for any crimes committed using your car.

✔ How to Avoid Post-Sale Liabilities - Change of Ownership:
Find out if your state has a “release of liability” form to protect you or go to the DMV with the buyer to do all the proper paperwork.

👉 Avoid the Time, Stress and Hassles of Selling Your Car Privately

✔ Selling Your Car Privately Can be a Painful Process:
Doing it right takes a lot of legwork and can involve a lot of stress and hassle, not to mention the risk of being scammed.

✔ How to Avoid Wasted Time and Stress when Selling Your Car:
One way to avoid all that is by selling to a reputable car-buying service like Driveo, where you’ll get more than you would at a dealership.

What Are the Safest Ways to Accept Payment When Selling a Used Car?

There are many ways to accept payment from a buyer when selling your car, but you must know how to do it safely to protect yourself.

👉 Cash Payments
Cash is king but avoids carrying around large sums in public. Have the buyer meet you at your bank so they can check for counterfeit bills.

👉 Personal and Cashier’s Checks
A personal check could be bounced and easily faked a cashier’s check. Do not give your car to the buyer until the check has fully cleared after depositing it.

👉 Escrow Payments
Never agree to an escrow service suggested by the buyer because it could be fake. If you want to set one up with a reputable provider, go for it.

👉 Just Say No to Payment Plans
You are not a financial institution and have no means of recourse if the buyer fails to make payments.

👉 Don’t Be Afraid to Walk Away
Your super-power when selling your car is your ability to walk away if anything feels strange, off, or suspicious.

There are all kinds of ways to accept a payment from a buyer who wants to purchase your car, but they can also all go sideways. Cash could be counterfeit. Personal checks could bounce. A cashier’s check could be fake. An escrow service suggested by the buyer could be a scam. In all cases, never give your car to a buyer until you know for sure the payment has cleared and the full amount is available to you in your account. Deter scammers by requiring the buyer to meet you at your bank to make payment.
