    Yes, it is theoretically possible. It is a little more difficult than selling a car without finance; the finance has to be discharged when the car is sold. Lots of garages will do this for you - someone wlse may be able to advise about doing it privately. The problem always is if the finance is higher than the trade in value for the car. What I do not know (and again hopefully someone else will) is if you can enter into a new HP agreement for a new car whilst on a DMP.
