My car is on pcp and I’ve been told I can’t sell the car to we buy any car until I own it.
So should I get a loan and buy it then sell it ? Problem with this is that I will be charged interest on the loan and will be charged for paying it off early. What’s the best thing to do

Get a settlement figure from the PCP company.
Specifically ask for a settlement figure to buy the car, not the remaining balance on the finance - they're totally different.
Once you have that, show it to WBAC and they will settle it for you.
Then any balance left over will be given to you.5 -
You can clear a loan within 14 days cooling off period with no penalty (beyond pro-rata interest). WBAC should pay you within a week.
However, WBAC should be able to clear the PCP as part of the deal; so the finance company get their settlement figure and you get anything left over.0 -

Make sure you have described the car accurately to WBAC. Their offer can be reduced when they inspect the car.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

Be very careful what you are doing with WBAC.
Their offer price will start tumbling when they actually inspect the car.

have a look at Motorway, although not the same as WBAC we got a higher price and was very easy. The dealer thats buying the car will settle the finance for you. (I do not work for motorway we just found them by chance and have now sold multiple cars through them!)FTB - April 20200

I had a good experience with WBAC with a PCP car - they found very little wrong with the car and I got near enough what was offered online. I took my finance settlement figure in and they cleared it, sending the balance to my bank within a few days.0

I've had good experiences with WBAC.
I've also had good experiences just driving around local dealers
They're all desperate for stock right now.0
