I'm expecting you all to say walk away but I really like it & it's a good price.

you could loose your money and the caravan.walk away.

I've told the seller I wouldn't do this & they said they wouldn't expect me to until the finance is paid. Why put a van up for sale before it's sorted though???

reading between the lines they may need your money to pay it off.

Just one thing I thought of (there was a scam programme on today which made me think of it). Make sure that the company being phoned is really the loan company by perhaps Googling the company name and ringing the number listed. It would be all too easy for the owner to have a friend on the other end of the line. Being cynical obviously but you can't be too careful with a big purchase.

It's me again, still on the hunt for a new caravan. So I've found a caravan I really like. It's a 2011 model but the owner has finance outstanding on it & was upfront about this. How can we go about doing a deal? I've told her I obviously won't hand over cash with finance outstanding. I mean she could keep the money & not pay the finance once I've taken the van. I'm expecting you all to say walk away but I really like it & it's a good price.
