How do you suggest we have second hand cars to buy if no one buys new :lol:

It's not she can't afford to pay the finance, it's because she is getting a company car.

I plan to get a new car this time next year, when I've finished Uni and hopefully got some money behind me working.

1 year after that I might get offered a company car - I probably wouldn't keep mine so would sell it - this is no different.

When I bought my car I paid the finance company and the rest cash.

However, this is surely win win for the seller, because their finance is paid, which is probably more than the market value of the car.

When you say finance, is it actually finance, or a separate loan?

I would have also thought that if you were up front to the potential buyer, and said you wouldn't send the V5C slip off until you had paid your finance once you'd paid the cash in etc, then there isn't a problem :boggle:


The buyer wouldn't ever pay over market value just because there is outstanding finance.

I'm not saying they would - but if some idiot did, then the seller is win win.

I just bought my Leon. It had finance left on it.

I paid the finance, and paid him the difference in cash.

We are going to phone the finance company togeather when I pick the car up and pay it via a bank transfer from my account. Then simply hand him the remainder in cash.

Depending on the contact, you cant part with the goods untill the finance is paid (usually) BUT a third party can settle the sum (me)

Hope this helps

Say £5000 is outstanding and the car is worth £4000 - £4000 goes to the finance company from the buyer whilst the seller is still liable for the remaining £1000. The buyer wouldn't be expected to pay £5000.

Its not illegal to sell a car with finance outstanding.
get the person buying the car to pay off the finance amount over the phone with credit/debit card before they drive off in the car.

Explain to the bank you need an overdraft for a few days for it once the sale is confirmed?

Ok, so how does this work...

My missus is going to sell her car, she doesnt have the money to pay off the finance out right because its just too much right now until its sold, but she will have a company car and her motor will not get used.

Its illegal to sell a motor with finance outstanding, but how can you do it legally? There must be a way of doing it somehow, some backdoor. She's not trying to get out of doing it right but can't afford to pay the finance THEN sell the car.

Cheers,

Ben.
