Yes, you can trade a car when you still owe money on it. The key is what is the difference between what you owe and what the car is worth. Dealers refer to this is being "upside down" in your trade.

If the amount isn't too much, you should be able to roll it into your next loan. If it's a lot, you may have to come up with some cash.

Assuming the vehicle is repossesed and sold to satisfy the debt, you will still be responsible for any debt remaining after the sale. It all depends on whether the vehicle is worth more than the remaining debt. If you are "upside down" in the loan you are liable for the difference.
