Thank you for your excellent advice about selling a cheap car. I placed one or two cards in newsagents' windows and already I have several people firmly interested. I have never sold privately before and believe that you have sometimes replied to letters to people who have and it has turned sour. To avoid this outcome, your guidance, please, on ideal sequence of events:

1. Agree a price (in this case including tax, to end of July 2012). 2. Request a cheque to be cleared through one's account. Once it is cleared 3. Section 6 of V5C is completed; section 8 is signed by both parties; section 10 is retained by New Keeper; and I send that half of V5C including sections 6 and 8 to DVLA, getting a certificate of posting. 4. New Keeper takes vehicle, I having removed Hackney parking permit to gain a refund 5. DVLA to confirm changeover within a month, I keeping note in my diary to inform them if no such notification is received. Otherwise, transfer is complete. Does that seem all right to you?
