Advice/opinions wanted

I have a 05 2.5 rs wagon. I bought it for 15500.. there is 13700 on the loan still.. I've only had it for a few months....

Im wondering... can I trade it in for a new or used STi?

how will that process work?

or would it be better to just build the car I have?

well thanks to anyone who responds..

hmm. well first you have to consider how much they will give for a trade-in compared to how much you owe. If you owe more than it is worth then that would be added to the price you pay on the STI. Look on www.kbb.com and see what it is worth for trade-in(not as good as selling it privately) If you want an STI and plan on keeping it for a long time then I would say get rid of the wagon and start paying on the car you want to keep rather than making payments on a car you aren't happy with. I think it all comes down to how much money you have and if you feel it is worth the price of upgrading.
