    mods feel free to move this. i could not find an appropriate thread in motors.



    quick question. i have a car under finance. if i want to trade it in against another car in a garage,will the dealer transfer the finance on to the new car??

    ie my car is worth 20000.
    the new one is 25000. he takes my one and now im paying more a month under the new finance.

    or do i have to settle up with my bank for the existing car and then get new finance for the new one????? is finance transferable??

    The dealer will settle the finance agreement on your current car, and start a new one on the new car. If it's with the same provider it might go against the same account number - sort of like a top up.

    were you using 20k as an example or is your car worth this?

    forget about the mortgages, its negative equity on cars that is a big problem in this country

    total finance owed including interest over 60 months is 30,000.


    i now want to change it for another car which costs 26,000.

    Have you got a settlement figure from your finance company? You pay the interest up front on car finance so you may get a nasty surprise on how much you owe on the car. Selling a car after 6 months is madness

    depending on the market value of the car, the dealer may do a straight swop. doubt it though, they'd be more inclined to try screw you over.

    If you owed less than the value of your car, the garage/bank would be able to get it sorted for you however since there is more outstanding than your car is worth, you may have to pay off the difference as in these times finance companies wont be giving out loans for more than the value of the car. This is what they would be doing if you dont clear off some of current one.

    Contact your finance company. They should be able to transfer the outstanding finance to the new car.

    you need to get a salesman to give you the value of the car. not what he is giving you for it but what at what cost he is taking your car into stock. if this figure is lower then the figure you owe you are in negative equity and you should have to come up with the difference.

    i say should because some garages will over finance your car to include this figure. not good business imo
