Private selling advice sought
First off, apologies for this question being non-3 series specific, but there's a much greater UK following here than on the F10 forum.
Having spent the last 10 years of my working life overseas, I'm a bit out of touch regarding private selling. I bought my AUC 1 year old E92 from a BMW dealer in May '09 and traded it in against a new F10 last September.
I knew at the time that, had I sold privately and approached the dealer with 100% cash, I'd have got a much better deal, but I wasn't all that comfortable with the thought of conducting a private sale. It's something I used to do frequently when I was younger, but at 62 one begins to imagine things like a bunch of dodgy characters turning up on your doorstep and disappearing with the car.
I'm now considering another trade-in, this time for an F12, but I won't be in such a hurry and I'd appreciate any advice on the safest way to conduct a private sale.
Many thanks,
Jon D.
