Oh, no—I’m sorry to hear you are having a difficult time right now! To sell a car with a loan balance, here is a step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Figure out the loan payoff amount. If you pay your bill online, you may be able to locate this information by logging in to your online account. Otherwise, you can simply contact your lender and ask.
Step 3: Determine your equity. To calculate this, subtract the payoff amount from the estimated current value of your car. If this number is positive, you can sell the car, pay off the loan balance, and keep the remaining amount. If this number is negative, you will need to sell the car, pass the proceeds along to your lender, and pay the remaining balance of your loan out of pocket.
