Private buyers are bonkers nowadays, who needs that nonsense!
In 2015 I re-powered my boat, so I had a used outboard for sale. One guy was interested and came to see it... once his "mechanic" looked it over and he decided he wanted it he basically threatened me that "it had better run as advertised" because his father was the DA for the next county over and it would be big trouble for me if I screwed him. He demanded a copy of my drivers license (which I refused to give him) and he made a note of my vehicle lic. plate number. Not a pleasant experience being threatened by a total stranger over a $2,500 item. Luckily I never heard from him again so I guess he was happy the the motor. That was the last thing I sold privately. My Bolt, Model Y and Mazda went to online car sellers.
