Should I do it?

I'm stuck, i went to the dealer today, 2008 Lightning Red WRX Sedan, 19,900k, 22k Miles on the ODO, 6 Year / 100,000 Mile Warranty. PLUS! they offered to buy my car for 7.5k so 5.5 of that would pay off the loan I currently have and the rest would go towards a down payment. I dunno if I should take the plunge...

Also it includes 24hr Roadside Assistance and a rental car if my my car is ever getting serviced.

If your car is always craping out on you, which is what it seems like from what I've rad just do it. But say you just want to finance 17k per tax n stuff or something like that and they should do it. Also, try to get them to take money off their car and take money off your trade in so you pay less taxes and registration.

I forgot to ask this when you mentioned this earlier, but have you checked insurance rates?

I'm going to try to talk them down to 18k if not more if possible, also how does adding more money on my trade in make the taxes and registration go down, just as far as more money to put down on the new car?

IMO, Red looks best on the sedan, they didn't have any 08 Hatches, all they had were 2010 Hatches.

I ment to say have them take money off your trade in and money off their car. So they give you 5.5 and you pay 17.9 for the car. So you pay less in taxes and such. I've had a few beers, its thirsty thursday.

Try and talk them down in price. It's still a buyer's market.
