Need Help, I bought my car less than a year ago, and want to trade?
If you must then you must, You are right an Oldsmobile wasn't the smartest choice.Take the car to a dealer and trade it in. They will finance the remaining you have on the Olds and get you into a new car.
Yes you will pay more over the time of the note but you will have a new car and no steering problems.
YOU MUST HAGGLE OVER THE INTEREST RATE. If they don't go below 6% go somewhere else. Make them sell you the car. If you find one you really like then be able to walk away from the deal. Odds are you will be driving it in a couple of days under your terms.

Cars are just like any other pieces of equipment - you could take two of them brand new off the lot, one will run flawlessly for years with only minimal maintenance, and the other will break down every time you look at it wrong.How do I sell my car quickly in NY?
New cars don't gaurantee you anything (except a high payment) and even though it might be under warranty, if you have to keep taking it back to the dealer to be worked on, then you haven't gained much (not to mention that they love figuring out ways of making it seem like you have voided your warranty somehow so they can charge you for repairs anyway).
Does any one whant to buy a 1978 old's cutlless?
The biggest thing is that when you drive a new car off the lot, it depreciates almost immediately. If you were to try to drive it back onto the lot and sell it for what you paid for it, they would laugh in your face. If you can find a good deal on a used car with low miles then you should take it - it's always a gamble, but try to find someone who knows a bit about cars to come with you to help weed out the ones that are clunkers.
Which is the best tool to find out the value of your trade-in when purchasing a new car?
If you do buy a new car, look for one with a long warranty, and do some research into the cars you are looking at to see what kinds of problems they have, and what sort of maintenance costs you will have.
good luck.
What's a good percentage of a cars value should I put down as a downpayment for financing?
If you bought the car from a dealer not knowing that it had a steering problem, you MAY--repeat, MAY--have a case against the dealer. Check with your state or a local attorney; this is a safety problem that the dealer may have to provide a remedy against if he did not disclose the problem. If you bought it from a private party--and they knew about the steering problem and did not disclose (and you can prove it)--your chances may be better.Where can i find some very cheap bumper lip for civics?
Of course, a car that old may have been sold "as is". Didn't you test drive this car? If you did, didn't you detect the steering problem then?
What interest rate percent do dealerships charge for special financing?
Also, the parts for that model are directly interchangable with those from the 1998-2004 Pontiac Grand Am; you may be able to find used parts from one that will repair your car. This may come in handy when you sell it--you really do NOT want the hassles of trying to knowingly sell a defective car to another individual. A dealer is more of a cushion against liability for you--but they will give you a lot less for the Alero.
In any case, good luck. But please don't sell the car before you have it repaired; you do not want the guilty conscience (not to mention the legal liability) of someone owning an unsafe car because of you.
Ford Fusion 1.6 2 5dr----I'm thinking of buying one. Anyone advise me if they're any good or not?
Trade it in. Interest rates have gone up BTW and the guy who said if they don't go below 6 then walk is way off. Interest rates below 6 don't exist anymore except via credit unions. You will need to probably buy a new car to be able to roll in the neg equity on yours. Your car probably has a trade value of about 1,000 dollars. Considering that my wife and I bought a 1 year old Alero with 30k miles on it for $8,999 yours can't be worth much. You made a bad decision and will probably have to pay for it one way or another.Explain the full process of buying a car off a private owner?

Ask whatever you want for it. When you have that sold, then you can think about getting a new one. Just make sure you drive it and test it before buying next time! Unfortunately, this is how we ALL learn!
