<prompt> Human: Bought my first car a year ago. Dont like car payments and high insurance, so I am going to sell my car. Should I sell it before or after my deployment?My two options: - Continue to make payments on it while deployed. I will be getting banking more money, so I will be very close to paying it off in full when I return. I would pay off as much as I can then selling it to pay it off and get a used car cash. Could I even sell the car without paying the loan off though?- Sell the car before my deployment. Pay off the loan while deployed and get home with whatever I have left to buy a used car.I am not to sure if I can even sell my car while I still have a loan on it bank has the title. What would be the better choice?  <response>: If you want to sell the car, youre going to need to pay off the loan. If you can do it before trying to sell it, great. If not, basically youll need to get paid up front for the car, mail the bank the payoff amount call them to find out the exact amount, it wont just be whatever was on the previous statement, and then transfer the title to the buyer. A lot of buyers are going to be turned off by this, but thats the downside to selling a car with a loan still on it.Since the bank has a lien on the vehicle, you wont be able to just transfer the title. If the loan is with a local branch, you might be able to go there with the buyer and get it all taken care of at once. Have him write two checks: one to the bank for the loan payoff, and one to you for the remainder, and then have the bank release the title.Call whatever bank you got your loan from and find out if they have any ways to help with this process.
