Hi I'm looking to part exchange my car for a newer one. I'd need around an extra £5500 to pay for the car. My partner has an existing loan with hsbc and has just under £7000 left to pay. Would it be advisable for him to redo his loan to purchase the car or would it be better for me to take one out?

On the face of it, is there a reason why you wouldn't want to take a loan out.
I don't understand why would you want him to "redo" his loan to pay for your car ?Space available for rent0 -
Well obviously we both use the car, more me but rather than have two seperate loans would it be better for him to loan an extra £5500 ontop of what he owes? That's what I meant!0

It may be better for you but I can't see any advantages for him,all other things being equal.Space available for rent0 -
its dependant on his income to debt ratio at the end of the day.0
