I think HP turns a lot of people off. As you could stop paying once theyve bought it and have it repo'd

I'm not sure how you get around it without paying it off ??

0% credit card to clear the outstanding HP would free you to make a clean sale and then repay the card.

Depends on the amount and limit on card...but possible

I'ts probably worth between £6-7k?

If you sell it you can ask the buyer to ring your finance company and pay the balance directly to them to clear the debt. The buyer is then confident that the car is clear of HP and you are clear of debt....as long as you don't owe more than the value!!

the paying off isnt an issue.

I can either pay it off with my savings which i have and sell

or hand it back as a VT (volantury termination)

i didnt mean i never wanna pay it off.

just wanted an idea on the value of it thats all.

Look on autotrader. 2004 seem to start at about 4.5k (which stood out as being cheaper than the rest by a bit of a margin) and up. Seem to be mainly dealers, so they are higher than private sale values. Mileages mainly tend to be lower though, so difficult to get a value. Plus I am no expert etc

Knock a little off that 4.5k for the mileage. Then again you could advertise it as motorway miles if it's in spot on condition
