  • i assume you pay the full amount back then pay an admin charge/early payment fee
  • Just get a settlement figure and then work it into the new car's payments.
    Even if the new car is from a different garage with a different finance company.

    That's correct. You get additional finance on the new car to pay off the balance remaining on the old car. Personally I would rather stick with it until it's paid off otherwise it essentially means you're still paying for a car you haven't got years later.
