djcool Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Private sale I assume if you're looking on a Sunday. A £100 deposit should be enough! No more than that on a private sale and make sure you get a reciept for the deposit too. Get them to write on the reciept that they agree to take the car off the market as a condition of your purchase and that you will pick the car up no later than X days after putting the deposit down.

Soapsuds Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 for fecks sake MAKE SURE that finance is cleared, because if you sign anything to say it's yours, you are liable for it...... You will be able to call the finance company when you collect it to double ceck, or she might even have a leter with the account number / vehicle rego etc. on it to say the funds have been cleared on the account. Apart from that, all will be ok Nice motor - enjoy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomk Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 well what ive been suggested by a friend is to call them myself - get the final figure and write a cheque from me then - go to the post office with the owner and post that cheque off to clear the finance - then pay her the balance of the car, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheques go missing in the mail. He could clear it on the phone with a debit payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
