  • Let us know how you get on as I am in a very similar situation.

    I!!!8217;ve got a car loan with nationwide which started out as £11k over five years. At just under 2.5 years I!!!8217;ve paid off all but £750 and I!!!8217;m just wondering what I can do to minimise the final cost. Conveniently my credit card company has just offered me 0% money transfers as well but it!!!8217;s only be worth if nationwide cut me a deal (will ring them on Monday).
