Thanks to all for your input and support, hopefully i stress hopefully weve heard the last of Mr ***********************ski, Hubby has spoken to him and pointed out the facts to him in a firm ( harsh, abrupt, concise dont bother my wife again rant) but fair conversation stating he should have done his homework and that he came with intent to buy the car, by arriving in a taxi, and sending the taxi away, before knocking on our door.
My copy of the receipt is safe and sound and will remain so, just incase any fines should appear. It can be a valuable lesson to any of us when selling a car or buying one privately to either write your own receipt of sale or purchase . The basic format i use is as follows --------
Example Toyota celica 2.0 L Registration mark (THEOMEN) Sold to Name
Address
Sold as seen, tried and tested P/code
For the sum of £40,00000 Date Time Buyer signature
From Mrs Blogg, Address.
We havnt sold many cars over the years, but what we have, we always tried to protect ourselves from the scammers out there, and to prevent getting into trouble with the police, or dvla, by using the above and have never had anyone refuse to sign. The majority of buyers are sincere in my experience and have nothing to hide..
If this helps just one of our members i will be happy.
Thanks to all cheers amanda
