    Looking at getting out of My Cooper S as my situation has changed, just wondering what options I have:

    Private Sale to clear finance
    Half way payment - Hand back to dealer

    are these the only options I have?

    I thought about trade in but I have only paid off 14months of the 4 years, don't fancy the payments after that.

    Some dealers are buying. Will depend on the age/mileage of your car. Give some of them a ring round and see what you're offered.

    I would expect private sale is where your likely to do best, you need to get an accurate evaluation of the car and whats left to pay. Eg if your car was worth say 12k and you only had 8K left to pay then handing it back is not such a good idea. Sorry to hear your selling though hope you get it sorted what ever happens.

    Private sales can be a hit or miss - we tried to sell the MX5 privately recently, and it was priced under similar cars, and we didn't get a single call. Had to trade it and the Volvo in eventually.

    Try webuyanycar - as much as I dislike them and their business model, they quoted us more or less the same as we got from trading the MX5 in


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Webuyany car quote one figure then knock off hundreds of pounds for stuff like stone chips, tyre wear and the like.

    They are a total rip off, its best to shop around the dealers and indie garages. We buy any car offered us 19.5k for our Audi TT, but we sold it back to the dealership for £23k.
