Oddly, there are no good usergroups I know of for a question like this.
ahr seems as good as any place.

I have my car for sale.
Is it okay to let them take it for a test drive? If they don't come back,
have they stolen it, or have they just borrowed it for longer than I
intended? When I bought a used car two years ago nobody thought twice
about letting me test drive them, but I look really harmless.

Is a bank check secure enough? Except for cash I don't know of anything
safer. And I suppose if they gave me forged check it wouldn't be much
different than stealing the car.

Any advice, or good websites on the subject, would be appreciated.

It has been a while since I sold a car privately. If they want to take a
test drive, I'd be in the car with them. I did take a bank check for
payment.
