We bought a new car in September after our last one completely died. We've got one daughter just now aged two. She doesn't need a big pram anymore so we downsized to a corsa. Cheaper to run, less road tax etc it seemed sensible at the time.
It cost us £4500 and so far we've paid the intrest but still owe £4492 if we want to pay it off in full now. We just took the dealer finance and I don't have details of the interest % or anything to hand.
Our problem is we've just found out we're expecting a second baby and we don't know how we're going to fit a pram into our little corsa (we have the same pram from our first daughter, cost a lot as a gift form in-laws so can't replace). It's also a three door so fitting a baby car seat is going to be such a pain.
If we sold our car now it's only worth £3000 now so we'd be about £1500 short of even paying our loan so would have to get a much older cheaper car to replace it.
Do you think we've got any way out of our car loan, it is just such a new purchase but we were planning on keeping it much longer! Right now we seem really stuck I just wondered if anyone had any ideas that we hadn't thought of.
Thanks :)
