Perfect private car buying scenario ???

So buying soon and abit nervous about the pitfalls that come from buying a 2 litre turbo car second hand privately.

So after all the pre checks for clocking/no finance outstanding are done and you have brought along a mechanically gifted friend to view the car and give the thumbs up and you negotiate a price, what in your view is the best way to seal the deal which makes both parties feel at ease and walking away happy ?

Been going over this in my mind for the last week and im thinking something like.

1. Once price is agreed on drive to the nearest bank you are with and either withdraw a cash amount(this can have a daily limit)/bank draft or mix of the two and allow the seller to verify it's validity and lodge it etc before you leave.
2. Both sign a simplified receipt that states car type/reg/date and sellers intent to sell with both signatures as you hand over payment and both are happy with it.
3. Bring along a stamped adressed envelope for the seller to post on the log book while you go to the bank or after when you are dropping them home (A4 size?)

Basically im just setting out to keep things as legal as possible while making sure the seller is comfortable with the whole thing so there is no nasty suprises which is the reason for the receipt and a bank draft as part of the transaction for it's receipt which will back each other up if the seller is a nutcase.

Just having last minute jitters as i cannot afford the car im buying from a main dealer and i want everyone to walk away from the transaction feeling they got a good/secure deal with no nasty suprises while not looking like a plonker/timewaster.

Make sure the details on the V5 are the same details as the person, i.e. make sure it is their car to sell.
Agree that the car will be sold to you and will not be sold to anyone else until you return from the bank.
Make payment by bankers draft made payable to the person named on the V5 or walk away.
Make sure the receipt has their full details on it.
Receipt something like this: http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-buyers-guide/cbg_sellerscontract.html (bearing in mind that if you buy it sold as seen and it breaks 20 minutes later it's your problem).
Put the V5 in the postbox yourself.

There are plenty of good guides for this sort of transaction on the AA / RAC websites.

Because its part of their "heritage". Their "heritage" being thieving illiterate twats with no moral compass whatsoever. The scariest part to me was the people actually filming it, with a little kid in the car with them and regularly driving on the wrong side of the road. The second scariest thing was that the Garda backed off the bastards completely. Where was the roadblock?

I guess the police were trying to avoid injuries by just managing it - I dont envy them this situation tbh and they are unlikely to find much support from politicians to crackdown on them.

I dunno, no-one I've met in Ireland seems to have much sympathy for knackers, and there's a general view that the Guards are too soft on them.

Far too fucking soft. It bothers me because I know I'm discriminating against a minority but I can't even put into words how much I fucking loath tinkers.

Not too far from the regular joe's "I want all the benefits of the society but f*ck you and your taxes" :D

Thieving fuckers. Filthy too, they used to come and ruin our village rec every year, leaving all their waste behind when they were finally moved on, including human waste. Not seen them since a big iron padlocked gate was put up. Before it was a typical wooden gate, no lock or anything. It's annoying because if you are running an event there you have to get a key and make sure the gate is manned to let people in/out.

Yep, they use the 'it's our culture' bullshit to excuse thier behaviour but more importantly as a cover for organised criminal enterprise. Everywhere they pitchup crime skyrockets, anywhere they settle ends up with all the local pubs having to pay protection money or go belly up because of threats and violence. Have seen it happen so many times, Openshaw, Clayton, Gorton and Beswick have probably 25% of the pubs they had 15 years ago, at most. They are working class and heavy drinking areas too, the places where pubs should still thrive.

I'm not sure you were ever made aware of it, but he tried real hard to do just that.
Jews weren't the only ones on Hitler's long short-list of people that shouldn't be alive.

It's not a case of getting rid, it is a case of locking the fuckers up everytime they break any law, punish them so harshly that they need to adapt to survive. Instead we coddle the fuckers, let them be classed as a 'unique culture' who the law has to work around.

Is there a cancer conspiracy? Do the drug companies stand to lose to much by curing or eradicating it?

I think the real problem is that cancers like breast cancer are actually composed of lots of different cancers with their own unique nature. A universal cure is almost certainly impossible because of this - only the most basic (and most debilitating) cancer medicines have wide effect.

Perhaps the future will be analysing a persons DNA then producing their cure based on their unique illness and gene expression.

Yes, I did know that, he targeted everyone we don't like now, nothing new under the sun, that's why a new hitler is just around the corner.
He also tried to sterilise disabled people to remove their faulty genes, we're doing the same now, it's called pregnancy tests.
