Is buying a car with finance on it dodgy?

[magooio]

I want to buy a car through a private sale, but the car still has finance on it. The seller says he will pay the balance of finance as soon he gets the money from the car sale? If he didn't though, would I be liable for the finance payments as the new car owner?

i wouldn't bother, when you have this feeling of what you are feeling when you wrote this question, just move on, its safer
