I have sold my car for 3K and bought one for 12K.

As far as selling mine, should I just trust ready cash, bankers draft or could I do it on-line ?

I realise on-line will work but should this be done in advance so I see it clear into my account or can it be done at the time with fast payment which both our banks support.

The clear disadvantage of doing on-line in advance is that the buyer has to trust me and as he does not know me from Adam ….

Both go to the bank & do the transfer there?

i would go for cash for that amount.

As uplink says. Best way and you aren’t going to lose it.

Plus- do the deal at the sellers house first then both go to the bank or go the bank the next day.

At only £3k cash is no problem for the sale. Offer the buyer the choice of cash or bank transfer. Only take a bankers draft if you get it during bank hours and get your bank to confirm it’s genuine before you hand the keys over, they are difficult to fake but it can be done.

For the car you’re purchasing is it from a dealer or private? At 12k cash becomes difficult due to money laundering regs, I’d go a bank transfer done in the bank with the other party for that one.

cheers guys. I am buying privately to.

What uplink and hora said. Both go to the bank and get the draft handed to you or your buyer directly. IIRC it’s not so much forgeries that are a problem, it’s that loads of blank drafts have been stolen, so they are the real thing, but not valid
