OK
I bought a car, and part exchanged mine with finance still outstanding on it, dealer gave me a price and said finance would be settled.
3 weeks down the line finance company are screaming for there money dealer has not settled finance, and got the car.
Who is liable is my question
You are.
Sadly IMHO Gurner is right, the finance agreement was between you and the finance company so you would be liable.
Have you got a written contract from the dealer

Although you are responsible under contract to the finance company, equally, the dealer is financially responsible to you - don’t know how much you are talking about here but I would suggest asking the dealer for the outstanding amout so you can pay the finance off or pointing out to the dealer that they are in breach of contract and you will be taking legal action - then contact your nearest CAB or Consumer Advice office
