Short term loan - until we sell car?

Could try the bank but may charge a high interest rate, the credit card may be a better option depending on who you have it with and how much your credit limit is as well as you current APR could be an option to transfer it into a current account.

Ideally you would need a card with about a 4k limit on a 0% promotional rate (that doesn't end in the next 2 weeks) that allows you to do a Super Balance Transfer (i.e. one into a current account).

Hope that helps.

Is it 0% on purchases of balance transfers? Don't think Barclaycard is one of the cards that you can do a balance transfer to a current account with - but I may be wrong.

If you're on your 0% period with Egg on balance transfers (if you're unsure you could send a secure message to them, normally respond within 24 hours) you can transfer money online to your current account (I did this myself yesterday!) and you won't be charged (incur any interest) as long as you pay it back within your 0% period. There is no other charges with Egg SBT as opposed to MBNA who charge 2% or £50.

Does that make sense? Let me know if you need anymore help.

I'm getting about £18.63, but not sure if this is right! But basically 14.9% of 3k is £447 which works out at £18.63 for two weeks but not 100% I've done it right, think I have.

Could try asking them if they will do a special balance transfer rate, some people did get an e-mail about this offering either 3.9% or 1.9% I got an offer of the latter. Worth asking, people on the credit card board have asked before and got a low rate, don't tell them it's for 2 weeks though just say you need it for a car purchase.

Ah, wait, have you got a balance on your egg? Because if you do a balance transfer to it any payments will pay off the earliest transactions, that's how credit card companies make their £$£$. So any promotional balance transfer will become more expensive, don't know how much difference it will make considering you will pay it back off in 2 weeks, but worth thinking about.
