Ask for the name of finance company & whats owing .Pay themwhats owing & getnotice ofremoval of security , & the rest to her . If she doesnt pay themtheycould repo the car .Not worth the risk .

SORRY RC--imon a laptop--not for a second doubting your word -the bullpucky bit is that it takes 2 weeks to do what I KNOW takes a couple of minutes to do. tHAT is laziness within the financier

Yeah. I don't know why it took that long. It was through BMW finance.

I just hope that the car was worth all this effort.I'd have run away right at the start as i find people who what to do "funny" deals are usually untrustworthy.

definitely worth it. I think she just wasn't sure how to go about the finance part, I wasn't sure either.

Do a proper check on the car on Motor Web to make sure there are no other securities registered against the vehicle,and to also make sure that the finance company releases their scurity that they will hold over the vehicle at present. I used to work in the industry so I know what I'm talking about, Good luck with it, this will be a great learning exercise for you.

thanks, i looked up the car on carjam and paid for the report so I could see it's just 1 finance company. I have a statement and have spoken to them so will pay directly and the security is taken off after 5 working days (do you know if this has any impact on me or not really!)

Is it that good a car for all this hassle! Look in here or on car lots and there are thousands of cars available in that price range. I would imagine with cash you could get a great deal too.

It wasn't really a hassle I don't know why people here suggest I should find another car, I just bought a nz new 1.5 year old car with remaining new car warranty 18,000kms for $15k. very happy and a great deal. sorting out the finance was no biggie in the big scheme of things today I paid her finance company and got confirmation security will be released next week & the rest to her - 2 happy people here :)

Easy a.People want to on sell for many reasons when there car is still financed, not everyone is dodgy, but should be treated as so untill proved otherwise. Of course it can be done nicely.
