Selling a Car with Negative Equity
August 29th, 2011 at 02:26 amhi Folks -- I am on a mission to get out of debt. My latest plan of attack is to sell a call that I owe more than it is worth. Here are the details:
I owe $28K
I have an offer from someone to buy it for $22K
KBB says private party value is $24K
I have the money ($6K) to cover the spread but I don't know if it is stupid to pay that much to get rid of this debt?
I haven't really done this before and I've made mistakes so I am not really sure if I know what I am doing...?
Any advice from anyone on whether to take the deal or hope for someone else to come along and make a slightly better offer (and maybe save me $1k-$2k)?
Getting rid of this debt would bring me down to roughly $45K left to pay off by next summer/fall timeframe.
Any good thoughts?
