I will shortly be selling a car that is worth about 3.5K. Its about 10 years since I saold a car privately, and I'm wondering about test drives and insurance. Basically, what do you do when the potential buyer wants to test drive the car ?Do you look for a physical copy of their driving license and car insurance, and clarify that they have third party cover or whatever to drive any car? Will you not annoy them?
Whats the "standard procedure" in 2011 with a test drive?

Also, are you better to accept cash or take a bank draft and wait until it clears?
