Flash forward to now. Fell behind on payments and now it\u2019s been repossessed. I\u2019m now considering a CP. however I have a month by law to buy back my truck or let my truck go to auction by the bank. However I need a vehicle for work. Just A to B. I\u2019m strapped for cash atm and getting rides from my folks. Should I go ahead with my proposal or wait for my bank to auction off my vehicle. If I do the proposal, I can finance a cheaper vehicle and pay if it off early (get a vehicle sooner). Or if I wait to to auction I can get a little cash loan to buy a vehicle for cheap. Which would look better on my credit report? <\/p>\n<p>ALSO, I have learned from my mistakes and will never do this again.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT: I suppose it easy to judge someone\u2019s situation while not having the necessary facts on what happened or how I got to this point. I\u2019m asking for advice not your judgement. If you\u2019re only going to dwell on how I screwed up and not offer any valuable advice. I\u2019m trying to get myself to a better place and have already faced the ground breaking reality of this fall out. So please, if you have nothing valuable to offer just simply move on.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT 2: After reading the comments here, regardless what has been said, truly is humbling. Thank you for your comments! My plan is: -Buy a beater next paycheck. -Wait till the bank auctions it off. -Pay the difference off ASAP. -never step foot in a dealership ever again. -go to therapy, get on meds, manage bipolar\/manic episode impulsiveness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/hunter4554o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/hunter4554o <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/s3q7wf\/bit_off_more_than_i_can_chew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/s3q7wf\/bit_off_more_than_i_can_chew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in September 2021 I decided to finance a new truck (48,000 stupidly).
