Selling damaged car what to do - Saxperience

burgoyne · 1st August 2008, 18:25

Hi
saxos got its headlights out, slam panel out and the bonnet is bent. I've got a guy offering to buy it off me, what do i do? He wants to get insured on it and drive it back quite a distance in its current state.

I thought cancel insurance, send off log book, make a contract and get him to sign it.

Help is much appreciated especially if you know the proper rules etc. Im to young to get sent down

thanks

how far has he got to go???

derby to notts, so no doubt police are everywhere. But if he gets done i'm not bothered his responsibilty. Just if i'm registered as owner would I be done.

Ok legally on dvla its their responsbility once its signed over. and without headlights they can drive in the day not night. Just for reference to people

Yeah as ryanmt said:

Get time signed on log book and a piece of paper.

Tell him either tow truck it, or find alternative means of receiving the vehicle because there is no way he can drive it in it's current state. The last thing you want is to get done for something you didnt do.

Like you say, at the end of the day if he is prepared to take the risk it his his responsibility, not yours.

sign every thing over to to him and let him do what he wants with it, as long as its in his name and youve got the cash your set lol
