Anyone ever paid finance off on a potential purchase ?

I'm interested in this Cayman advertised on PH:

I'm concerned though by the comment at the bottom about the buyer paying off the finance directly to the finance company. To be honest, that puts me right off, just wondering if anyone has come across similar ?

Ah ok, thanks for the replies.
Never realised it was that common.

Once again, thanks for all the replies.

This is my car. The balance owing to the finance company is a few thousand less than the asking price, so the transaction should hopefully be fairly straight forward.

I did worry that mentioning it in the ad may put off potential buyers, but thought it only fair. However, it does seem fairly common place these days so imagine other sellers bring it up later.

It's a fantastic car and I will be very sad to see it go.

It's a great looking car, me and my other half said we'd never want a red car but we saw the pics of this one and looked at each other! There's one near us in Guards Red but a lot more expensive (and tan interior which I am no fan of at all) but we might go and have a look just to see one in that colour in the flesh.
I'm sure you won't have any problems selling it, we're looking at a few closer to home this weekend but still have one eye on yours.
You were right to mention the finance in the advertisement, if you had mentioned it when people got in touch there would have been a feeling of what else are they 'hiding' ?
Hopefully bringing it up here has put other potential buyers minds at rest, it's something I never realised was so common these days.
Good luck with the sale, as I said, we still have one eye on it!
