    I have sold a few cars privately - some on DD and I always print out a disclaimer for the purchaser to sign. It basically says that car is sold 'as seen' and I list all the facts I have stated in selling the car like one owner, mileage is genuine, NCT is due say Nov 2017, etc.

    Thanks....where would you buy a marker like that?

    Amazon UK either.

    I'm beginning to think it's a bit of overkill to be honest, but it's a few seconds hassle and it's piece of mind.

    OP you really are over thinking this. It's highly unlikely someone is going to arrive with fake money to buy a 04 Golf. Just list your car and sell it to the first person who shows up with money.

    Yeah , I agree.. You are selling a 04 Golf not your house. Most people are honest people and thousands of cars are sold everyday. All you need to do is list it, sell it and take the cash/ bank draft and send off the signed logbook. Don't worry about anything else.

    Valet the car inside and out, if you can find someone that could polish for cheap - go for it.
    Take plenty of pictures - sometimes a nice background helps too. Take pics of all sides, interior etc.
    Write a good description - mention all options.

    I had a hero two months ago buying a gearbox with fake notes. Gearbox was €700. All forged €50.

    Tbh the reason I was a bit worried about the fake money risk was that I know of a few people who have been caught by it on last few months.

    They are passing fake notes in shops for a box of fags.

    Put an add on DoneDeal today using phone credit. 50 cent levy added when using that method. When did that come about?. Apologies if in wrong forum.

    Sneaky €1 surcharge when you pay via text!
