You can always get ripped off anytime you trade. Also you will not receive nearly as much as the car is worth and will pay more in the long run. Sell your car to a private party at somewhere between wholesale and retail. Find the value at www.nada.com By eliminating the trade you are in a much better position to purchase a vehicle at the lowest price possible. Dealers will not give you near what the car is worth. Usually less than wholesale. If at this time you are upside down on the loan, I would suggest you keep what you have or find someone to take over the payments.

Can you trade a use car in for a new car?

It depends upon the dealership, but generally speaking yes. Make sure if you are buying a new vehicle not to mention your trade until you have set and agreed on a price on your next car. If they ask before that if you have a trade just say no. That way you won't get lost in what your getting off the new vehicle and what your trade is worth. Also when trading in use sites like KBB, Edmunds and NADA to find out a rough value of your car when trading into a dealer to make your not getting a very low trade in price. If the trade price they give you is extremely low, I always say don't walk away from a deal and let them come back and counter offer with you. Some cars due to economic conditions and the area, and even condition your selling them in will vary and it might go on the dealers lot to be sold or go to a car auction.

Will trading in a car not yet paid for a newer car cause you to pay more money?

Yes, of course. Because the loan on that first vehicle still needs to be paid off. The best thing to do is not trade it in, but try to sell it on your own. Then use part of that money to pay off the loan and the rest as a down payment on the new car. You're never getting as much as you think you're getting when you trade in a car. Remember: The dealer has to detail, repair, etc. that trade in before they can sell it and they intend to sell it for a PROFIT. If it seems like you're getting a good price for the car, you're probably paying a lot for the new car you're trading in for.
