Selling a Financed Car — Is That Possible?

Yes, it is possible to sell a car that is not yet fully paid off — but it requires some steps. First: Contact your bank or financing provider and ask for the current outstanding balance and any early repayment fee. These costs must be considered in the sale proceeds.

We help: At autoankaufsr.de we can settle the remaining financing directly with your bank — you receive the difference amount immediately.
