Precautions before handing your car for a test drive

It is understandable that if you have to sell your used diesel car, you have to let the prospective buyer take a test drive and ascertain for himself the condition of the car. However, you must take some precautions and not let just about anybody under the garb of a buyer to take off with your used Alpha Romeo diesel car for sale. That will be akin to handing over some money to a stranger expecting him to return the money to you.
Some steps you need to follow such that your car remains in safe hands is as under:
• Strange as it may sound, you must listen to your inner voice or instinct before handing over the key. If you are uncomfortable for some reason, do not hand over your car for a test drive. You are well within your rights to refuse.
• Do a quick check to see what your insurance policy has to say regarding test drives. That can give you a strong reason to refuse any such demands and the prospective buyers may not feel hurt or rebuked.
