The trade in question

Ok, so a few months ago i got a 2002 wrx for about 17k, what i really wanted was of course an STI. So im driving to work today and it finally just slaps me in the head - why not trade in the wrx for an sti? I can afford it, but it is a enormously bad idea to trade in my wrx for an sti when i've only made one payment on it so far?
What do yall think?

Actually, if your mileage is normal, you can still get $15-17k for it. Even if you only got $14k, $3k is a reasonable amount to rollover on a new car- especially an STi. Just be prepared for a significantly larger payment. $33k on a note will be around $550-600 a month.
