Selling 4x4 in winter?
Discussion
Dealers will pay a bit more now, but you need to offer it to a few different dealers to be sure you are getting the best price.
You can sell it privately, and pay off the finance as you complete the sale. This can be a bit of a delicate situation that needs to be handled correctly so you don't lose the trust of your buyer, and at the same time ensure your agreement is paid off.
If you sell it privately you will almost certainly get more money.
On the other hand, if you are willing to accept rock bottom for an easy sale offer it to me!

Thats the problem, it would put almost most private buyers off knowing theres finance owing and having them wait longer even though they've parted with there money to cover the outstanding finance. A dealer is so much easier.You can sell it privately, and pay off the finance as you complete the sale.

Speak to your finance company see if they will accept final settlement over the phone via a debit card. This will be the easiest way for any potential buyer to pay off the finance there and then if they decide to buy.
Failing that, ask about internet bank transfer. Should your buyer bank online they will be able to do this at your house, and if your finance company is willing to give clearance straight away all is well and good.
Another way would also to get the buyer to transfer the money online. Then even if the finance house wont give clearance straight away, because you have seen him do it and by now have got to know him somewhat you may decide to trust him and let the car go.
Make sure you have a up to date finance settlement letter, when your buyer arrives and has shown positive signs of wanting to buy it be upfront about the situation, and prove what you are saying with the settlement letter.

As above. I've bought cars privately that had finance outstanding and paid a portion of the price direct to the finance company (debit card on the phone on both occasions). Seller can verify transaction is complete, buyer knows finance is paid off and Robert's your mother's brother Failing that, ask about internet bank transfer. Should your buyer bank online they will be able to do this at your house, and if your finance company is willing to give clearance straight away all is well and good.
Edited to add: 4WD cars are selling quite quickly at the moment, especially if they are fairly well priced, I can tell you as a buyer.
Anyone have a reasonable mileage FSSH Legacy Spec B they wish to offload to a good home
