<prompt> Human: In 2011 I bought a Ford Escape when I was stationed in South Carolina. I bought the 2WD version and rolled in a small amount from my trade in. I am now stationed in SE Idaho and would prefer to have an AWD vehicle for the snowy landscape. I have taken my Escape to several dealerships who offer between 10,000-11,500 and I owe 19,200. If I roll in that much negative equity my payments on a new car would be too high, assuming I can get approved for a loan that exceeds the value of the car I am purchasing. I am looking for ideas of what to do to get out of my Ford Escape.  <response>: You can try and sell it privately but youd still be upside down. Not much you can do but pay it down. I was stationed at MHAFB, I had a two wheel vehicle and it wasnt too much trouble getting around. Youll be alright.
