Summary

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.

Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.

    Sooo question. Can you leverage your car as a trade in? Or is it not worth it because you still have a loan? I’m no longer looking for a car, but there was a time where you could basically get out for about the same price you got in for

      You absolutely can. It’s whether your upside down on the loan or not if it’s worth it to trade in.

      I’m in a position to trade in my current vehicle for more than I bought it for, but I can’t get anything similar to it for a decent price to make it worthwhile to me.

      Great question, I’ve which I cannot answer, as I honestly haven’t thought about that. However, the demand of Tesla’s are decreasing really fast here in Denmark, so I’m not sure if I could get a good deal. However, I will check it out next week! Thank you 🙂

        Definitely look into it, you never know what you might be able to get for it. I worked with a girl in high school many years ago who somehow managed to trade in 3 cars in a row for more than she paid for them. She managed to pay off the loan on each one and get a better car out of the deal than the one she traded in, and it still shocks me enough that I still remember it to this day.
