Hi All,
Bit of help and guidance required..! I've sold a dozen cars privately but never had to do the following, as the new owner will be buying the car using finance.
I've copied the email the email they've sent, I've heard of the finance company (they're actually local to me) and called them yesterday from their google number, confirming what they've asked for.
Hi ****
We are looking after the finance for * who is purchasing your MASERATI GRANTURISMO
Our customer is looking forward to collecting the vehicle however, we need your help with some additional information to complete the transaction.
To make things easier, below is a checklist of everything needed; we appreciate it’s a comprehensive list but we do require all the information listed.
Please can you provide us with clear copies of the following
Once we receive the above information, we will send you a Private Sales Invoice for signature. This will allow us to release funds on delivery of the vehicle.
I will call shortly to confirm that you have received my request.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance
Mainly unhappy that whilst I still own the car and responsible for it, they want to fit a tracker, also not keen on sending the V5 even though I know it's not proof of ownership. A bit skeptical to be honest!
Having never financed a car ever, is this normal practice?
