<prompt> Human: I bought a new 2015 Mini Cooper in March, 2015 for about 28,000 on a 72-month loan 2.9 apr, and now I have gotten a sudden job offer that will send me overseas for a few years. I wont be taking it with me and dont want to make payments on a car I cant drive. The problem is my remaining principal is up to 8,000 more than the Blue Book value of my car. Remaining principal: 25,500 Blue Book estimate: 17,000-18,000 at a dealer, 19,000 by private party Final payment due: 3292021 Lending bank: BMW financial Other goodies: extended warranty, image protection for minor bumps and dents, etc.rpersonalfinance, is there anything I can do to avoid paying someone 6,000-8,000 to take my baby away?  <response>: Nope. Welcome to the joys of buying a brand new car and driving it for less than a year before needing to sell.
