I'm thinking of selling my car, a T reg Mazda MX5 1.8 (dark blue) so that I can use some of the proceeds to buy a share in an aeroplane (and use the left overs for something reliable to get me to and from the airfield).
The trouble is I've never sold a car privately before and finds the whole idea a little indimidating. What are the various pit falls I should watch out for? Should I wait for cheques to clear before handing over keys and paperwork, or demand a big bag of cash (to be robbed as i go to the bank)? And what are the options for selling over the internet privately? What about test drives and insurance considerations?
Any advice welcome.
