Selling a car on PCP...

Well i'm having a pretty crappy week...
 
Sweeping changes and potential redundancies announced this week at work mean my job is no longer secure.
 
I'm probably being over dramatic but i'm feeling like I want to get rid of my Mustang in order to be a bit more secure financially... 
 
I've still got 16 months remaining on my PCP deal.  Am i likely to have any problems if I try to sell privately and settle the outstanding balance as part of the sale?  
 
Im hoping to sell for £31-32k-ish... has anyone on here successfully sold a car of similar value privately before, or would a car of this value typically need to go to a dealer to sell (so that i prospective customer can purchase on finance)?
 
My mind's not made up yet, but i'm definitely having a wobble.

Sold my 911 for more than that with outstanding finance on, no issues at all. Bloke came to me, we went to the bank together and he CHAP’d VWFS, we went back to mine and waited for 6 hours until they confirmed they’d received it. He then paid me the rest into my bank, then took the car. Easy.

Sorry to hear this Chris, I hope you end up keeping it

I could be wrong but I believe @DoogyRev sold his 350z privately with outstanding finance on it. Might be able to help?

no one wanted my 350, which I assume was because of the outstanding finance, even at the bargain price. Ended up getting rid of it to a garage who paid the finance off, had to take a lot less than it was worth though.

Cheers guys, good to know, thanks.

 

Still might keep it yet... just going through the mild panic of thinking what outgoings i can slash and how long i'll survive if I cant find another job, when the reality is im sure I could find a job within a day or two if I needed to.

As said, it’s completely fine to sell a car on PCP, privately or to a dealer. Done it a few times myself. You just need to pay off the balance with the proceeds of sale.

Ditto. Easy providing you are up front and tell the buyer you are using the payment to settle outstanding PCP. Done it myself twice before.

Clear the outstanding while the buyer is there. Keep the rest if its more than you owe or clear the rest if its negative. 

 

If selling to a dealer this is all done during the sale. I called Nissan Finance a few days later to make sure it was cleared and nothing was being owed.
