SELL . . . SELL . . . SELL! No brainer. Why pay interest for somethign you can't touch or use. Besides, if you invest the money in Japan well and then come home with 3 years of money growth PLUS the increased value of the Yen over the Dollar, you will be WAY ahead. Make your money work for YOU and not sitting in storage earning interest for a bank. Good Luck in Japan.

Definitely sell it. While it's still a relatively "new" design today, it won't be in three years. You'll likely want whatever is newer at the time.

I want to sell it and I know I will lose out on it but that's fine. Now if I happen to sell it, I will need to find me a car to drive to work til I leave in December. Damn, it's alot harder than I thought....

I agree with everybody above about paying interest on something that will continue depreciating while in storage, but there is also the cost of storage itself. How much would that cost for 3 years? Then you also have to consider the fact that sitting in storage for a long time isn't good for cars. Your battery, A/C system, tires, oil seals, etc. will degrade over those 3 years.

On Kelly Blue Book, it doesn't have the 2008 model for me to check. It doesn't have "Lexus" as an option when selecting 2008. So I went with 2007 for an estimate. How much of a difference will a 2008 model be from a 2007?

SELL IT!!!! Even if you are upside down $10K you will save more than that in the payments that you won't be making on a car you can't drive. Not to mention the $10K+ it will depreciate while you are gone.
