I’m reaching out in hopes of finding someone in the community who might be willing to help me out of a really difficult situation.
A few years back, when gas prices were soaring and everyone was talking about electric vehicles, I ended up buying a 2020 Tesla Model 3. At the time, I’d only ever leased cars, which worked well for me because I liked the flexibility and the lower payments. But Tesla didn’t offer leasing at that point, so I bought it outright.
Fast forward to now, and I’m in a tough financial bind. Due to some unforeseen medical expenses and being out of work for a while, I ended up in debt and really struggling. Now I owe about $30,000 on the car, but the trade-in value is only around $15,000 to $18,000, which means I can’t roll it into a lease or trade it in without paying a huge amount out of pocket—money I just don’t have right now.
I’m hoping to find someone who might be interested in buying the car at a price that could help me get out of this hole. It’s a good car, just a base model 2020 Tesla Model 3 with no frills, but it’s been reliable for me. 67,343 miles, battery still under warranty.
If you or anyone you know is in a position to help, or if you have any advice on where else I could share this, I’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any kindness you can offer.
