I recently sold off a car that was quite new and I realized I could not really afford. I did lose some money on the deal, but now have a budget that works. Something that helped me get the car sold off more easily was that I got the title cleared. I pulled a personal line of credit (at 13%) and paid off the car note. As soon as I got the title in my hands, I started advertising heavily. I then sold the car as quickly as I could, and turned the cash around to pay off the personal note. I ended up paying some money in interest this way but it made it a lot easier to get the car sold not having to hassle the potential buyer with title transfer difficulties. I know people who have sold off cars with liens, but it can be tricky. Another option would be to take the car to a subaru dealer and trade it in on a forrester. This would be the easy but more expensive way to do it.

Wishing you luck!
