I bought a used 2017 Chevy Bolt EV earlier this year, and now need to get rid of it. Long story short… I moved from a walkable city to a car-requiring city to be with a partner, and she has since betrayed every aspect of our relationship, and now I’m in a terrible individual financial position where I have a car I don’t want or need. It’s truly been the worst year of my life, and I need to get rid of this car before I can move on, both financially and emotionally. You know how sometimes guys will say whatever the woman wants to hear in order to be with her, and then not follow through on any of it once the woman is committed? Imagine the opposite of that… so before you judge me for being in this hole, please understand that I was completely blindsided.

KBB says it’s worth $14,000, while I have $24,000 left on the loan. My savings were used to move here, and so I’m trying to get the absolute most money for it. I’m thinking that I should sell the car and then refinance the loan, and pay off the loan monthly with the car-sale money, and then hopefully when that runs out, I’ll be in a more stable financial position to afford the payment regardless (I’m 26 right now). I’m currently located in TN. Do you have any tips for how I can get the absolute maximum dollar amount for my EV/if there’s a better time to sell than not?

Thank you so much in advance.

    Are you moving back to a walkable city? You might need to sell bolt + other car to actually be able to pay off the bolt’s loan.
