"Is there a way to do a transfer of equity on a car loan? "

"I need to cut back on my monthly expenses. My car payment is one of the biggest ones. I spoke with the bank and they said I could voluntarily surrender the car to them or do a transfer of equity. How does a transfer of equity work on a car loan?

“A transfer of equity simply involves selling the car for what you have left on the loan. If you can find a buyer with good credit, you can go to the bank together and work out a deal.
