I love the freaking car, i cant get enough if it. But, sadly I don't know if I will be buying one. They are only willing to give me 7-9k for my WRX on a trade in and I owe 14.7K!!!!!! They said 02 WRX's with 69k go for 5-9k on trade in.

As much as I love the car I'm not sure I want to get into another HUGE loan that will put me in the same situation I am in now. So I think I need to buckle down and get my car paid down before I make the new purchase.

I just wanted to say I envy you guys and maybe I will be ready to get an MS3 when they come out with white.

Sigh...One day i will be in a MS3. I'm still gonna hang around though.(dance)

But U Have To Come Up With 4500 Down Just To Get The Car. Save Up U Money And Get The White One With Piano Interior.. I Love Mine So Much That First Night I Slept In The Garage And Looking At It. Too Bad I Cant Make Love To Her.
 
I could get 10k private party...but I would have to then pay the remainder of the loan to my bank. Where if I trade it in I can roll the remainder into the new loan.

Both are bad scenarios IMO. I need to just buckle down and pay this s*** off

Be happy with what ya got. WRX is a nice car, period. It's more important to be fiscally smart than to be cool.

Dude whats up with capitalizing every single word? lol
 
Just get somebody to take on the payments. Transfer the balance under the new owner's name and zoom zoom you go!

I did that with my bimmer 325i to get my wife an SUV that I promised.
 
I originally typed the whole thing in caps...posted. It was all in caps still so edited it and added the last part. Oh wells.

To contribute: Nice WRX! always been a fan...so much better than the new ones.
 
man that sucks to hear...how the heck do you owe that much??? anyway just be patient and pick up a used ms3 in a couple of years. atleast the rex looks good!! and is moddable.
 
Idea: I noticed you have a lot of mods, why not restore the car to near-stock, sell the aftermarket parts separately, and sell the car to someone then?

I figure you can easily get what they are saying they'd buy your car for STOCK, and then you'll have all sorts of aftermarket goodies to sell for cash.

I see nice wheels, exhaust, trunk, etc. All of that is valuable to the right buyer. Then the car can go to a person who appreciates making their own mods.

This is what I am doing with my 3G eclipse. made over $3K in selling my mods. I mean I still lost my As* since I have 4 times as much into it. but I would have never got that out right.
