Reply to comment by octotron3000 in I have a financed car and less than 30 days before navy basic training. by octotron3000

Why would you buy a new car in September with plans to enlist? This is not logical. Adjust your thinking going forward so that you can get ahead in life.

Figuring out a new car was a scam was my final straw to make me want to join, I want financial dependence and the guidance to make the right decisions. I'm tired of being a stupid civilian.

That is good to hear that you are changing your money mindset. I would just continue making the minimum payments for now. Once you receive your enlistment bonus, pay down your loan to what you can sell the car for. Then sell your car.

I think this is going to be my best option and also the last time getting a loan for anything, I'm ready to simplify my life, I can't wait for the options I get from the military, thank you for your suggestions. I hope I never need to make a post like this again.
