    They'll need it in one chunk to pay off the finance.  You could take out a loan to cover the difference, it'll show up on your credit report but a debt of £2k will look a lot better than £16k. 

    Assuming you still need a car, you can always trade that one in against something cheaper and see if you can get a finance quote under your £150/month. I think you'd really struggle to refinance that one as cheaply without an incredible rate and a really long term. 

    Did the broker give you any other suggestions about affordability? Do you have any other way to get you to the 50% mortgage point?

    Hi, no he said to
    clear all debt basically. He’s even said clear a £500 credit card ontop of the car. Wants the lot cleared. 

    I’m on my way to get a corsa (3k) 
    hopefully I like it. 

    Then it’s the trouble of getting the finance car settled.
    i went to we buy any car a few weeks ago and they offered 11500 2k shy of what I need. I just don’t have 2k to
    top
    it up. 
    And I’m in the process of using Motorway at the moment buts it’s hard to juggle around work commitments etc. and I’ve got a feeling they’ll haggle me down like we buy any car.

    Im
    wondering weather to sell it privately on auto trader or Facebook market place,

    If the car is as described, then I think motorway will honour their quote. 
    But, yes, you should get more selling it privately - but with significantly more hassle.
