PCP car finance, help needed!

Hello, 
I currently have a car on a pcp finance agreement, which i have had for less than a year. I want to get out of the agreement and get into a car with no monthly payment to reduce my outgoings. my question is, can I PX my current car on PCP in for an older used car at a dealership and just pay cash? 
For instance the car i want is £5K, if I have £1K of negative equity, could I go to a dealer and pay a total of 6K, have them settle my current finance and drive away in the new car (now with no monthly payment)??

Thanks
Sam

    Yes as long as you’ve got £6k cash to pay.

    What is the settlement figure for your current car ?  What would a dealer offer you for that car - at the moment unless it is something special that they could shift fairly quickly it will likely be worth well below the settlement figure.
