car finance advice

i'd appreciate some advice, i bought a used car a couple of years ago, i generally get a personal loan rather than car finance and once the loan is paid, either run the car for a while or replace with another loan.
The Current car is not lovable, bought for conveneince and has started coosting me more than i think a car should, so i'm thinking of bailing out early.
i did a quick valuation on we buy any car and it covers the existing loan amount with a bit to spare (even allowing for then talking the car down a bit.
my question is are there any really good trade in deals out there or recommendations on the best way of approaching replacing the car, loan again, finance...buying a bike!?
thanks in advance

    Why do you have to get a car from anything other than savings?
    Honestly many people buy their car outright whether brand new or previously owned.
