Selling a car advice?

I have never worked it this way . If your potential buyer crashes your car , you have a broken car, you have to wait ages for a pay out. The pay out won't come to you if the buyer holds the insurance. You then have to get the money off them. It's only the amount the insurance paid out less their excess, likely less than you were going to sell the car for . I am interested to learn from others but how can this ever work.

Agreed.

I sold a car a few weeks ago - I took them out in it, but there was no test drive requested and if they'd asked the answer would be no.

Even if they have insurance, I have better things to do in life than argue with somebody else's insurance company about the value of my car if the worst should happen.
If a test drive is that important to somebody, pay more and buy it from a dealer.

I used Cuvva when buying a car privately and it was very good, don’t know what they are like should you need to make a claim but the buying experience through the app was easy

I do the test drive

If you want to drive, you can whilst I'm holding the cash

If it's an expensive car I'll take a transfer and give you a note confirming you have 30 minutes to return the car for a full refund
