Honestly, unless your car has dents, anything more than a quick wash and wipe down is probably a waste of time. The dealer is not going to care whether your car's engine sparkles.

the trade for a tC is kinda strong. i know ( and shouldn't post publicly) what they are buying used tCs for at auction and it is pretty strong. you might lose a bit, you will lose your tax and licence AND you will need to pay for that again with the new car.
Here are the options that you have, and they are all good.
(listed according to how much money you lose. low to high dollar loss)
1) suck it up and keep your automatic
2) sell the car private party for what you owe, or at least try.
3) sell your car to CARMAX. sometimes they really hook up the seller.
4) trade it in for the manual tC at your dealership.
In the ABSOLUTE best case, you will break even. but, this is unlikely. Bottom line, unless you know somebody at the dealership that you can call a friend, you are going to lose some money.
you should probably wait a little bit, maybe a year or so to bring down the amount you owe. Then, try to trade into the manual tC.
good luck.
I'm 20. I pay for it all.Originally posted by beezy@Dec 4 2005, 05:49 AM
I work for my money and pay half the monthly payment on mah tc and half my insurance and my parents cover the other half, so im not getting the car for free at all. For a 19 year old paying for half a new car, I think thats pretty good. jus an FYI to basilisk4 and im not full of myself or notin . . .
I was making full payments on my 99 Eclipse RS and 03 SRT-4 at 19 going on 20. Insurance to boot. What's your point? I would consider a brand new tC for 8-10 thousand a steal.Originally posted by beezy@Dec 4 2005, 02:49 AM
