Car owners can unknowingly have large amounts of equity locked up in their vehicle, even if was bought with finance or hire purchase. What you will finally receive v. The shorter time that you have had the loan the more will be owing to the finance company. Leased cars are a different legal status and this does not apply to them. Lenders will give a settlement figure on your loan if you ask them. Missing payments on the loan will be added to the balance settled by the car buyer avoiding the negative consequences of repossession.
Selling a car for cash, particularly if it needs to be done quickly, often means taking less than the car is really worth. Your local dealer will only want your old car if you buy a brand new one at full list price. Cars for sale ads in the local press have been superceded by the Internet which most people now use to look for cars.
