Common seller questions
What should the first car photograph show?
Use a clear three-quarter exterior view in daylight, then add all sides, interior, dashboard, wheels and honest close-ups of damage.
Should I publish the full registration certificate?
No. Keep ownership documents and sensitive identifiers private. Show legitimate documents during a serious, safe viewing without publishing private details.
How should I handle a test drive?
Verify the driver's licence and insurance arrangements, keep control of the keys and documents, and use a safe route. Do not proceed if the arrangement feels unsafe.
