well it all depends on where u go

3rd party dealers may try to jerk you

You won't lose too much at all.

It'll be significant, but MUCH less costly than a swap in the future.

Not to mention you'll get a new car.

Trust me, save yourself insane amount of headaches, and just trade it in.

How would it work? Cuz I bought the car with the loan. Paying the loan from the bank. So if I trade it in? How would the payment go?

Only way to do it is to go in to the dealership and find out.

You'll just probably do something similar to a re-finance.

seriously bro the sooner you get back to the dealership the better. they may be able to work something out. you never know. the longer you have it the less it's worth. tC's hold their value well so if the demand is still there, they may take it off your hands without much hassle. but they have the expertise with the numbers.
