    Dont take this wrong, but you want to take out a loan equivalent to 15months wages?? Are you mad?? I assume that you have a mortgage as well? How will you afford all this?

    I agree with Smoggy.
    Leave the car loan as it is as there will be no benefit to you paying it early.
    Set up a standing order to the relative's account and pay them back monthly.
