Car Loan

At present I am 3 1/2 years into a finance deal for an 07 car. Reading the final settlement figures I have 18 months left at £254/ month and also a balloon payment of 4.5K at the end of the 5 years.

The car is running well so not likely to change at end of deal and expect to keep it.

In order to pay the balloon payment it will either have to be a loan or my other option is my self employed business overdraft which is 5.5% plus BR. Therefore 6% at present.

My overdraft is 10K and not using it at present.

What can anyone suggest?
Year 2019 (1,700/£17000mortgage repayment)Overall mortgage (71,400/165568) (44
.1%) (42/100) payments made. Total paid 2019 year £1,700

Total paid 2017 year £15,300Total paid 2018 year £13,600
