Have you considered taking her into a specialist seating company, they can do wonders with seating for disabled people, so giving you some advice on the seat and possible mods to resolve the problem for your Wife, might be far cheaper than what you lose selling that lovely XC.

I'd been dubious about a lot of those buyers before (and still am for many of them - over £3k variation in online valuations) but in the end it was a breeze. Definitely specific to some models though, some colleagues at work tried valuing their cars when they heard about it, and SUVs seemed to fair OK, but smaller and city cars were a mile off actual value. |

Thanks for the post, would you mind telling me who were the people who offered you the extra cash at the last minute might be worth a call.

just told today they cost £750 having said that if it saves selling the car may be well worth it.

You obtain a letter of satisfaction from the finance co, ensuring it shows any matching HPI account references and make sure it has a phone number for prospective buyers to confirm. I wouldn't expect anyone to just take my word for it that I'd paid it off. I've actually even sold a car that still had £800 outstanding on it. The buyer called my finance co. and paid that off, then gave me the difference in cash from the agreed sale price. If finance is the only HPI issue, it can easily be worked around.

Maybe the three interested parties just used it as a standard line to start negotiating? Dunno - I was advertising it at a price for a quick sale but wasn't going to be silly about selling rock bottom (had the dealer p/x and online options to fall back on) so maybe when I didn't immediately knock £1500 off they went elsewhere. |

There are many unscrupulous people (even volvo owners) who will falsify documents to give impression finance company has no interest, even beyond the point where finance company is questioned, tell prospective buyer it's now registered keepers car to sell, and then reposses, and auction off.

Cash in hand
Always nice to have cash in your hand but 26+ K is a big lump!
Best hide it well until the banks open! That link you show didn't link for me so hopefully its a genuine offer for you and they do indeed turn up with cash.Good luck. |
