How can my sistrer get out of this car loan? My sister has a car with an enormous payment that she can no longer afford. She owes 12,000 but the car is worth less. How can she get out of it? And... she has bad credit now, too. Really bad. She is so desperate. She wants to just let them repo it because she knows her credit is screwed already. I would like to give her some suggestgions. She already tried to get a personal loan and failed and no one in our family can afford to help her. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. To note: She has talked with the lender and the car is currently in repo status. She is hiding the car every night. :( They cannot do anything for her because they need her to make 2 payments, which she cannot do. In talking to her I found out that she has already had payments moved to the end of the loan, and been given a lot of changces with Toyota Financial. They will not let her refinance. Her credit score is now under 500. She doesn't want to "get out of the loan". She wants to get out of the loan *and* the car. She is not trying to get over on anyone. She just cannot afford the car. It was a bad decision to get it in the first place and she knows that now. She starts a higher paying job Feb 2nd so she is trying to do better. Unfortunately she can't come up with the payments.

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car? I'm not going to be able to take my car with me when I transfer out of state from Richmond,Virginia. I am looking at schools out of state and would like to work, live and go to school in either downtown Phoenix, Arizona or Austin, Texas. Is it possible to live without a car in either cities and still have a fun life. A lot of college students here in Richmond don't have cars so they have to make friends with people with cars, and/or only work,play and live downtown. Also in Richmond there are lots of jobs, and leisure activities downtown and we are a city of only over 200,000. So, aren't I right in assuming downtown Austin and Phoenix will have even more opportunities for young non-drivers? * I will be living on campus only for a while as well.

How can I get the most money for my old junky car? I bought the car from a "dealer" for $750. He gave me a warranty. I probably should have used more discresion, but was desperate for wheels. Anyway, found out that the brakes are bad and getting worse everyday. There are also a few leaks. The guy won't communicate with me or help me at all. At first he said he would give me my money back, then said he didn't even have that much money to give me. Now when I call him he hangs up, if he answers the phone at all in the first place. It's a 91 Honda and probably would be fine for someone if the brakes and leaks were taken care of. I just can't afford to do it. How can I get the most money for it? I realize that I won't make it all back, but are there any other options besides craigslist and donations? Thanks!
