It would be burdensome to the estate because the car is worth $8,000, but $15,000 is owed on it. So the trustee would not get anything from selling it.

But the issue is that while redeeming undersecured cars is common, some trustees may not get it abandoned quickly, and some judges will reject a motion to redeem if the car has not been abandoned by the trustee.

So I was curious as to whether bringing both motions at the same time would effectively save time.
