Successfully selling your used vehicle depends heavily on the test drive. Since you're the one selling your vehicle, put in some extra effort to please buyers. For each test drive, remove unnecessary items from the vehicle and choose an area with minimal traffic as well as a route that you're familiar with. Accompany buyers as they take your vehicle for a spin, even if they try to insist on taking the test drive alone. You should also quickly jot down their driver's license information before handing over your keys.
Check with your insurance company beforehand to determine if test drives are covered under your current policy.  If the buyer notices an undisclosed issue during the test drive, listen to their objections while being open and honest in your explanation. Reducing your asking price may cost you money but may be necessary if other undisclosed problems are found while the potential buyer is inspecting or test driving the vehicle. Having a serious buyer walk away can be detrimental when you're trying to get your vehicle sold.
