Selling car privately - bank transfer?

CMJB22 · 2016-05-10 21:10:36

Hi, I'm selling my car via a private sale and the car is worth around 8.5k. I have a buyer who is interested, has been for a test drive and wants to make the payment via bank transfer. I'm just wondering how safe this is? He came to view on Sunday, has to go back and sort insurance out and now wishes to collect this Sunday…

I bought my £4K car locally and viewed it at the owner's property. When we agreed the sale the owner drove the car over to me, I went on-line to do the transfer, she checked her account on her phone and I gave her a lift home. Couldn't have been easier.
