Selling a car - is giving the buyer a receipt necessary?
Discussion
A couple of weeks ago a bloke turns up on my drive out of the blue asking if one of my cars was for sale. As it turned out, its one that I wasn't really using any more and had since been superceded... so the answer was 'yes'.
Long story short, he came round again last night and bought it with cash - hooray! saves me the job of advertising it.
When I got the V5 out, he filled out the 'Selling your car to a trader' section and had hopped in and driven off before I had thought about giving him a receipt.
Should I have given him a receipt? or is it up to the buyer to ask for one?
Should I try to contact the buyer (all I have is a mobile no.) and ask him if he wants a receipt do you think? I do normally give and ask for receipts... but this sale completed a little faster than I expected and it slipped my mind at the time.
