Best way to get rid of a nearly-new car?

[Leptons]

Wife talked you into an unsuitable car (in what universe is a mini a disco replacement?). So you've allowed her to order an almost equally unsuitable replacement?

You need to shorten her lead mate.

I'm in the same situation as you sir.

Has he made the same mistake three times? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Yeah yeah, first world problems and all that. She decided that the Disco was too big to park on the school run and wanted something smaller. Against all advice she insisted, and now we've both realised that even though the kids need less stuff carrying around, a Mini is no good. The five door is a little bigger but I think we need to cancel that order sharpish. Had to drive 2,200km this weekend across the Alps in a hired Nissan X-trail and it reminded me just how good big SUVs (hate that term) are for long distance comfort and usability.

Not sure about the year end for Stratstone - how would I find out?

There's a website that people post up their finance agreements and others take them over. I think with a bit of sweetening that might be worth a look. Probably a payment down by you to make it worthwhile perhaps

Otherwise, sell it, cover the negative and get rid completely then decide what you need.

The dealer will pull your pants down on trading up, cost to change will be high when they roll the negative into the deal, and you'll have to go up in price per month regardless

Did you buy GAP insurance?







For the terminally stupid who moaned at me before, this is intended as a joke.

As a bit of encouragement to the OP, I had a word with the dealer today. Only going to be raped for £500 for selling this early. Feel like I've won the pools compared to the potential for an engine to go boom just out of warranty.
