FWIW, most people, myself included, would never buy a car without a test drive. I’d go with “No test drives without cash in hand” or similar.
I don't know if I'm gonna have time to even wash the car and get pics taken this week with all we have to do...
I think I need to now ask about what kind of information I need to include in the add in the hopes of cutting down stupid questions.
Year, Make, Model
Mileage
Recent and fairly recent work done (IE 30k miles on suspension, new brakes, new crank position sensors, plugs, etc)
No, I won't take trades
No, I won't take payments
We will be meeting at the police station for the sale. Your bank parking lot may also be acceptable
Cash only - and I will be checking the bills with a marker
No test-drives (honestly not sure about that one...)
Sale is final. No refunds
No warranty, no guarantee. Car is sold AS IS
The correct date and mileage will go on the Title
Yeah. i've thought about that wording, too. Or "no test drives without me along, must have cash in hand". BUT that opens ME up to issues should there be...issues. I'd certainly hate to have to defend myself.
And yes, supervised test drive. sit in the back so you have the advantage.
I bought my 97 T-Bird ...

Only change would be "or your bank parking lot during business hours". I could see some jackwagon wanting to meet you at 7pm or on a Sunday forgetting the fact that the reason for deviating from the station is so they could go in and get the cash.
Ooh, good plan!
TF, weren’t you in the class where we learned how to choke out the driver from the back seat using the seatbelt?
Dealing with lazy rif raf is just a given bonus when marketing anything via the net these days. Recently sold a zero turn via Marketplace within 24 hrs. Of the 11 responses received after allowing the ad to soak four hours, only one inquiry was considerate/ambitious enough to use language other than the default "Is it still available" and also include a phone number for contact. I'm inclined to believe there's a new generation of people responding to ads just to fill a void in their lives while producing what they perceive as social interaction.
