Sarah_Diamond Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Try Autotrader mate Should be slightly cheaper than VW dealers and you can search within a certain mileage too, lots of options there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_FR Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 have done a searchy, but none that are at on a forecourt (need a trade centre, so i can continue paying the finance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwick Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 You won't find one at a main dealers for £4.5k because it will either be too old or too high mileage for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt~black Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 can you not just take out a loan to pay off whatever finance you owe on the car or is it too much to do that? alternatively can you not call the finance company and talk about changing it over to a different car if you swapped with someone?

Leon_FR Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 nobody wants a car thats got outstanding finance..and i cant get a loan as i dont have a steady income (work part time, as im now a student again) id love to just sell it, as it would give me more options for the loop, but i dont think its possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do it but my loop has 100k on the clock and i not got enough spare cash so not what you lookin for but I'd have thought someone would be up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just swap a car then continue to pay for the old one, it doesn't work like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just swap a car then continue to pay for the old one, it doesn't work like that.granted id have to fill out a few new forms, but they take care of all that..i nearly swapped it for an A3 sportback in january. but what they were prepared to give me for the leon i couldnt justify it at the time.

matt~black Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 how much do you still owe if you don't mind me asking is it only like the diff between loop and leon is that why you wanna down grade so t speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Or just hand the car back and the loan is paid under most car finance options..........then start again and dont fall into that trap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_FR Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 how much do you still owe if you don't mind me asking is it only like the diff between loop and leon is that why you wanna down grade so t speaki only owe about 2k, but obviously only having a part-time job and being a student..paying it off is not an option. the downgrade is because the loop will be loads cheaper to run, but not much of a sacrifice in power.Or just hand the car back and the loan is paid under most car finance options..........then start again and dont fall into that trap!if i hand the car back then il be losing so much, iv basically paid 9k of the original 11k and to hand it back and not have ANYHTING to show for it is a bit of a no-brainer really..
