Selling a car privately- do I let them in to my home?

[Forosu]

I’m currently speaking with someone who is interested in buying my car. First time I will be selling my car privately. Just wondering if we are both happy with offer, to do paperwork etc do I let them in to my home? I mean we can’t exactly do everything outside can we. How does everyone do it? Do we just trust these people. I think I’ve become paranoid after hearing a story of how someone came to view a car and then stole it shortly afterwards.

When we last sold a car we did do it all outside, and the time before we did the paperwork in the kitchen (hallway leads straight to the kitchen).

I think you get a vibe as to whether you feel comfortable inviting someone into your home and, if you don't feel comfortable, please don't feel obligated to let them in.

Honestly I’ve heard so many horror stories from friends selling privately, especially where they’ve known your address and the car has been damaged overnight before they come to view it.

I would go to a dealer or even we buy any car first
