<prompt> Human: This might be the wrong sub-reddit, but I purchased a car a few months ago and kept my 2001 older vehicle to privately sell the dealership would only give me 250 for it. Someone contacted me and asked about paying in bi-weekly payments on their payday. I wondered if anyone has ever sold their vehicle this way and what protections you had in place? The total would come out to 1,500. I asked for a 200 down payment and if they run off with it or dont hold up their end is their anything I can do like repossess? I realize this is high risk also. Im not terribly afraid of losing the vehicle as its just sitting around paid off, but wonder if anyone is experienced with this. Located in Kentucky if that matters.  <response>: Thats what banks are for. Tell them to go to their bank or to their family for the money. If they cant, then tell them, sure, once I have the full asking price, you will get the car, the title, and the keys. Until then, it stays in my driveway. If you are more than 14 days late with a payment, then all of your money is nonrefundable, and I reserve the right to re-list the vehicle. Of course, you have to be ready to deal with threats or retaliation when the deadbeat that couldnt come up with even 1,500 drops the ball after paying you 500-800.Even if he had the best intentions today, what happens when the 1,500 car needs a repair, or insurance, or something and he has only 300 to his name? Do you think that you will come first, or his own needs?You will have NO protections if the proposed deal goes south. The car isnt worth enough to start involving police, courts, etc. You cant squeeze blood from a turnip. What will you do, spend the money to go to small claims court and get a judgement against someone that couldnt come up with 200 in two weeks?
