Good afternoon to you. How can we help today?

46.317 - 78.595 Amanda

Okay, so I have one of them huge car payments. It's about $900 a month. I owe $34,000 on it. It is a 2022 BMW. So my question is... It's only valued at $34,000. The auto trader value is $25,000. I would get about $2,000 back in warranties if I sold it back to the BMW dealer. I have $10,000 in my savings account. So my question is, should I get rid of the car?

78.615 - 83.918 Amanda

Because it's kind of hurting us financially paying a car payment that high.

85.353 - 96.826 Rachel Cruze

Yeah, for sure. I mean, $900, that'd be nice to have, right? Versus it going to a car payment. Okay, so you said it's valued at, I think you said it's valued at $34,000, but then you looked on AutoTrader and it's at $25,000.

98.655 - 109.322 Amanda

Yes. So I owed $34,000. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I got you. Sorry. I owe $34,000. It's valued at $25,000. Is that like trade-in? Have you? Yes.
