So the buyer saw the car, test driven it yesterday and agreed on the price.
He called me earlier that he has cash for me and as soon as he sorts out the insurance, he will come an collect it.

Problem is the bank is now closed and I can not pay the cash in until tomorrow morning. He seems a reasonable person buying the car for his young son but still is a private sale for about £4000 and I am worried about forged cash.

How shall I proceed? Is it ok to go ahead with common sense and pay the money in tomorrow morning? Who is supposed to send the V5 document to DVLA? Can I send it tomorrow after I have payed the money in? I still need to give him the V5C/2 bit. How do people go about this usually? Shall I take a copy of his ID?

He should be here in 1-2 hours so thanks for any input.
