Selling a car advice?

[Rustybits]

I hope this is the right place to post this?

Anyway, I'm going to be putting my car up for sale in the near future and I'd like a bit of advice on how to handle requests for a test drive.

I'm more than happy to accommodate, and have nothing to hide, but I'm not sure the best way to approach insurance cover with the potential purchaser.

Do you stipitate on the advert, or when people call that you need proof of cover? Most people may assume they will be covered to drive other cars if they are fully comp on their own policy, but that normally only covers them with third party cover. I want to make it clear they need specific cover to take my car out for a test.

The car is not particularly high value at all, but if there were any issues on the test drive then I'd be the one that looses out, so want to be sure that I am covered.

Am I being too over cautious here?

It’s your call however you want to play it. I would just put in the advert proof of specific fully comp insurance needed before test drive. Job jobbed.

Thanks, I'll add it to the ad

As you say, fully comp only covers you third party on other cars. Nobody is going to take out a specific FC policy on a car they don't own just for a test drive.
You might want to take potential buyers for a test drive with you driving.

I did when I bought privately, day insurance was about £60 I think.

But here's the thing, I don't know how common this is?

I just have concerns about someone spinning out and putting my car in a hedge!

Thanks,

Yes it's not a shed, it's a 3.0 Z4 (e85). So my concern is someone without any experience of a relatively powerful RWD car giving it some welly.
