Hi all,
First off my thanks to the website for all the useful advice on here. I've registered as I have some very specific queries about my situation.
I'll try to keep it brief. I'm in a situation at present where I am one payment from meeting the halfway point. A finance company provided a sub prime loan for me to purchase the vehicle from a used car dealer which I did at an APR of 47.9%.
Now I'm half way through the term and have almost paid off the cost of the vehicle and still have another £3500 or so to go on a car where the current trade in value is circa £1000. It seems to me unquestionably the best thing for me to voluntary terminate the lease.
Now, the car had several cosmetic issues when I bought it. Particularly scuffed allows, scratches to front and rear bumpers and smaller scratches on roof. I have taken reasonable care of the care but I'm worried that the finance company will try to get me to pay for the repair of those.
Would it best to get them returned before the car is sent back as I'm sure they would try to charge ridiculous amount for the repair of these when in my opinion the car is in reasonable condition for a ten year old car and is certainly in reasonable condition relative to what it was like when I purchased it.
Would very much appreciated any advice.
Kind regards
Ash
