We ended up upside down of course, and we paid off the difference and saved the $400+ per month toward debt. I would do the same thing again, but of course it depends on how upside down you are. It&#39;s hard to get traction when you have so many payments. Oh, and don&#39;t trade in at a dealer, they will rip you off big time. Only sell person to person. Hope that helps!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347473819926845405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496911808017056571.post-13108308263486794982011-09-13T07:53:46.173-07:002011-09-13T07:53:46.173-07:00Hi, I see this post is 4 years old and I would love to get rid of my car but I&#39;ve only had it for 6 months. <br />I&#39;m just now starting FPU and wondering how this worked out for you?Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15929188684764411948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496911808017056571.post-38428186388849155332007-11-13T20:30:00.000-08:002007-11-13T20:30:00.000-08:00Hi Mindy! <BR/>Thanks for reading! :)<BR/>I know I have heard Dave say that he recommends paying down the car with your debt snowball until you can get it low enough to sell and get a loan for the difference. That's what we are doing right now.<BR/><BR/>I don't think he would recommend putting the difference on the credit cards (which we are looking at), he seems to always say that loans are better. I've heard him say also in one situation where the caller was way too far upside down (like 10k) that they were just stuck with the car for now.<BR/><BR/>I've thought about calling in before to ask about our car situation. He does open phone lines, so that might be one option- to give him a call! :)<BR/><BR/>I hope that helps! Good luck to you as well!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347473819926845405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496911808017056571.post-71721996926700787722007-11-13T20:03:00.000-08:002007-11-13T20:03:00.000-08:00Hi- I just wanted to comment on your post about dumping the car. My husband & I have just recently started listening to Dave Ramsey also and we are in the same situation with our car, upside down. I'm interested to see how it works out for you, because we have no idea how to dump our car. Listening to Dave has been so eye opening but I don't think I've heard him talk about what to do if you can't get a loan to help get rid of the car. Have you? Good Luck, and I really like your blog.<BR/>MindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
