    It will be in the terms and conditions you signed when you took on the finance. Have a look at the agreement.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Depends on the agreement but you will be liable for all scrapes and dings and excess mileage I imagine.

    It depends on type of agreement.
    IF hp or pcp then you should have nothing further to pay except any arrears at time of vt and any damage other than fair wear and tear.

    If it a loan type of agreement then you will have to pay any shortfall after sale.

    As already said, look at the agreement to find out which applies

    could not find the agreement so called them and was told i will have to pay so may as well sell it private instead because you will never get what its worth at auction, the car is now in better condition then when we got it resprayed new exhaust etc..
