Post author By Damion Post date December 13, 2009 5 Comments on Is it a smart move to pay off my car loan if there is $9500 remaining? I have already made about $3000 in payments. I would like to sell the car, but am not sure if paying the balance to the bank first is smart, or should I just try to sell it via craigslist and THEN pay the bank off?
