    You wont be able to reduce the payments of the loan, only pay a lump sum off so you should be able to settle the loan a good few years early.

    Sell the car privately for as much as you can and buy a £2000 car and pay a chunk off the loan keeping the repayments as they are.

    See ebay/autotrader for private values and get a duplicate service book. Write to the last owner and try and find out who serviced it, if it has been serviced.

  • cheaper (inferior) car :(

    This tickles me. You could get a MUCH cheaper car than that and it wouldn't be inferior...it just wouldn't have a shiny new plate and lots of toys.

    C'mon though, that's what Johhny Taxpayers for....to pick up the bill for the !!!!less who can't be bothered to plan their lives.

    Perish the thought someone should wait until they can actually afford to have a child. :)

    Why not try reading my post once more?

    Only 2 sentences, no big words, should be straightforward for you.:)

    Looks like you're claiming the OP is sponging off the state.
