i just got car finance on a 2003 corsa c in feb 10. i kinda not getting on well with the car and its bugging me. i seen another car at a glance at a garage and i like it and the price seemed low for the car. question is can i put my current finance and get the other car or add my current finance ont the new car. i got the finace due to getting credit history for myself. plan was to keep the car for a year then buy it out but i dont want to drive it much longer :(

you could sell the car private and ask your finance company for a settlement figgure, then use the money from selling to pay it off
then get another car on finance or buy one if you have the cash

go into the garage and see if youd be able to take fiance on there the car and they normally take the car and pay the fiance of on the other car for you i think.....
