Angry Now it's selling the flippin car!!!!!

Hi people,
Advice needed please

After all the hassle with the house, 1 thing we didn't need was the selling the car nightmare, basically the story is: we have a Fiesta bought on the options scheme 18 months ago, we planned on just handing it back nothing lost etc, well anyway in the small print it says we have to have paid a certain amount by the time we can end the agreement, anyway spoke to Fords the other day and they have offered us approx 1.5k less than the car is worth if they sell it tomorrow they will get the money back! but what I would like to do is sell the car privately, give them what we get for it and basically clear off to Oz !!

We will pay back what we get, but basically we cant afford to pay the lot off. What do you think will happen to us, don't like doing it but what are we to do?????

If there is a finance agreement on it mate u wont be able to sell it...u need to clear that first. Usually peeps will check on this before they part with their cash.

Not too bad, just waiting for the day to arrive now, we fly May 6th and popped my head in the loft yesterday, swiftly shut the door :scared:

Keep saying to ourselves we'll do that tomorrow and you know the score when tomorrow arrives
Really hectic days now, and to top it all our house buyers are on holiday, our survey is sorted, and contacts signed but no completion date yet

Keep saying to ourselves, in best Aussie speak " it'll be right!"

Speak to you soon and I'll keep you informed

remember the kids will be on holidays from 20th June thro to 3rd July, good idea to let them have some time off before they start...then get them in at the beginning of term. Ours had 2 weeks off when we got here, but I wish I had given them longer, cos they missed their usual 6 week break in the UK, and by the time the wee souls got to their long break here at christmas they were shattered
