Selling it yourself will easily get you more money. Just be smart. Don't let anyone drive it, don't let anyone come into your house, and don't trust anyone for any reason. Make them pay with a money order, preferably from the post office.

If they want to take it to a mechanic, only let them do it after they hand you a valid money order for the full purchase price, and get a written contract that states the sale is not valid until both parties agree on it.

^^^^^ This.
Plus, I would only agree to meet at Starbucks or some equally conspicuous place. I live in a very safe zip code and my HOA pays for LEOs to patrol...and I still don't answer my front door unless I can look out a window from upstairs and see on my front walk that it is one of my neighbors. I've purchased a new car with money orders before, but only when I was visiting multiple dealers in the same day 'pitting' for the best deal.
