Why would anybody lend you money, and not expect to receive any interest in return?

They're not going to offer you an interest free loan to pay off the finance. Your options are simple; make the final payment and keep the car or hand the car back and walk away. The finance provider may allow you to extend the finance but if you have the money and want the car then just pay off the balloon.2

Yes, you've just bought something and the fact that you were offered 0% interest would've been factored into the price of the item you purchased. Here, you're simply looking for a loan, the dealer/finance provider have absolutely zero incentive to give you money for no actual return. You can understand the difference right?noClue said:

You can get 0% financing on deals on new cars and occasionally on used cars - I just finished a 3 year 0% conditional sale. You won't get a 0% loan to keep the car you have now.noClue said:oh shoot thats my bad. i meant 0% interest financing not loan lol1
