So I'm getting ready to PCS from Andersen AFB, Guam back to the states and my biggest question is what to do with the car I bought in Guam? It's a 2018 Hyundai Elantra with approx. 40K miles on it that I bought for $11K.
I've never bought a new car before, but I have been extremely interested in buying a 2024 Honda Civic to just get something that'll last me forever & then I won't have to think about a car for a while. My original plan was to sell the Elantra on island and get what I can for it, but a buddy brought up that I could have it shipped to the states and use it as a trade-in when buying the Civic. I feel the trade-in option may be the worst of the two?
What are your guys thoughts?
Info: A1C (will be SrA in states), have almost $25K in cash, no debt and my only expenses (outside of gas and insurance) are general wants such as internet, phone, eating out, etc.
Thank you for your response ahead of time!!

Will the military not ship the vehicle from Guam to CONUS?
You gotta price out what’s better. I have never traded a vehicle in and have always sold it to Carvana or private party.
I can totally see a car in Guam rusting out
I would probably sell the current car. In the states I would buy a used Honda civic or corolla with cash. Would maybe finance if there was 0-3% interest on the loan.
