<prompt> Human: Early last year I made a purchase for a brand new 2015 Chevy Cruz, manual for 21k I believe and still owe 17k. Since then Ive only put about 13k miles on it. Today I took it to the dealer to get it serviced and ask for a valuation..Here is what shocked me; the car is currently valued at 8500... I know I shouldve done my do diligence before making this purchase but now I need advice on what I should do.My initial thought is to try and get them to value the car around 10k and roll over the negative equity onto a lease. What are my other options? Is it worth keeping the car, pay it off and hope its worth something with 30k miles; or do I take the loss now?I will be grateful for any advice!  <response>: Is there a reason you want to sell it after less than a year and a half and only 13k miles? Leases are almost always a bad deal financially. The best thing you can do is keep driving this thing until the wheels fall off and avoid the transactional costs of changing vehicles.
