Trade-in Process? How do i?

Well maybe if you would have said that in the first place homie.
You made it sound like they took your trade in for 2k and put it on the lot for 15k, lol!

I am going on 17 hours of work and my eyes are playing tricks on me.

No problem. I had my wife read it and you both made me dizzy. I don't know how to reword it............LOL. Oh well.

Speed3.

Hatch, so good for audio.

Faster than the SRT-4 and the Slobalt

More fun, too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I miss mine.

If you owe more than your trade is worth, they just tac it on extra to whatever your total was going to be.

These dealers do this every day. Most of us do these deals every few years. There are sooo many ways for them to milk money out of a deal. You're not gonna fool them, you'll only end up fooling yourself. So don't concentrate so much on singular aspects of the deal as on what you want coming out of your pocket when all is said and done. Concentrate on how much money will come out of your pocket with all other factors already calculated in your head then ask for that. Then let them structure it however they want. Not much difference between negotiating 1000 dollars off sticker then giving you 3K in trade or not giving you a discount but offering 4K for the trade. It's a simpler way to buy vehicles then negotiating over individual aspects of the deal with them trying to make it up elsewhere. And you should definitely go in with your own financing for a pre-determined amount.

The thread is full of fial... Obviously this so called college degree you came out with didn't happen to give you any basis finance 101 knowledge.

Mark my words this is the absolute worst thing you can do as a young adult straight out of school. Debt also known as leverage can increase profits/returns for appreciating assets (real estate/education) and whoop your *** for depreciating assets (jewlery/cars).

Please do yourself a favor and drive your Chevy until it's totalled or falls apart. Finish paying off your loans and start saving for a future obligations. You will need the extra money and flexibility one day and will thank god you didn't nail yourself over a faggoty hatchback.

dude if you are upside down on a car note under 10k and can't fix it to where you are ahead of the game, how the hell do you expect to get back on track with double the debt on your shoulders? you are royally screwing yourself and you don't even realize it. this is a car audio forum, most of us here are in our mid 20's and if people our age are saying it's a bad idea to do this deal--ITS A BAD IDEA. don't do it, trust me on this one. you will be on here in 6 months saying you can't afford your outrageous car payments anymore, you don't want your car now because of it and you can't sell it outright because you owe too much on it to pay the loan off. repo is in your future.

i didnt read all the posts, but i vote you keep the trailblazer til its paid off or you are no longer in the hole on it.

My parents did what you are trying to do. They bought a dodge ram a while back, on loan, and had nothing but bad luck with it. They were under about 5 grand on it, traded it in for a year old ford super duty, and thought they were gravy.

Now, they are under on the truck some ridiculous amount. I mean, they love the truck they have now, but they are under much more and dont really have the choice of getting a new vehicle until the truck is paid off.
