The thing is this. I weighed the pros/cons of selling private party. Since you've dealt with Craigslisters, I found this out in my brief experience. I had a couple of people that wanted a test drive that lacked license or proof of insurance. They tend to get bent out of shape when you ask for this before stepping into your vehicle, and I got the impression that it was an attempt to joy ride my car. I gave up and took the loss. Really wasn't worth the time and effort in my opinion. Glad it worked in your situation, but I wanted to avoid that headache.
