Selling a car

Just wait for the right buyer. If I was the buyer I wouldn’t take it to a mechanic since I’m capable of doing adequate inspections myself so you can wait for someone like me. I just sold a car with 100K miles on it and the buyer never even test drove it (which was sort of strange but he was buying it for someone else and wasn’t interested in doing a test drive). It strikes me as unreasonable for a buyer to expect to be able to take the car for 2-3 hours and drive it 45 miles or so.

Regardless, even though private party sales are generally considered AS IS, I suggest you type up a small agreement that specifically states that the car is sold AS IS and has no warranty of any kind and have the buyer sign and date it.
