You bought a $3500 car for $6100 and you owe $4400 on it?

i went through CARMAX anyone dealt with their autofinance people on transferring collateral?
Please don't tell me that you are thinking about rolling over the amount you will still owe into another vehicle purchase. If the above info is correct, you are living beyond your means and just getting yourself deeper and deeper into debt. You'd be financing debt for something you don't even have. That, you are not only paying for something you don't have but your also paying interest on it. You need to do what you need to do but IMHO, you might want to look a getting a beater to drive until you can get out of this debt. Not everyone needs to have a nice vehicle. Certainly $4400 is not a lot for a car but it seems like you were already rolling one loan into another.

They got it most likely from NADA...Blue book takes a lot of other things into their vehicle evaluations, I don't know any carrier that would use a KBB as a value.

If you have a Gap insurance coverage, you need not worry about the difference at all. But if you don't, there is nothing much to do except negotiating with the carrier for a higher settlement. However, the insurance company is not liable for the amount you owe. It will only pay you the actual cash value of your car.

Shut up cry BABY!! I owed 11,000 on my car and my insurance only paid 5,000 leaving a balalnce of 6,000. It could have been worse for you. GAP is the way to go!
