Should I trade in an expensive car with negative equity for a cheaper one to lower my payments?

Aug 16, 2007 by Some Nerdy Guy | Posted in Personal Finance

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T that I owe about $30,000 on. It's now worth $20,000. I pay about $690 a month for the car and I'm a few months into a refinanced five year loan. I was looking at trading the Charger in for a $17,000 Toyota Corolla and rolling

i think you should be able to answer this question yourself. you just have to first work out your priorities. eg. are you trying to save more money for your family, for an investment opportunity, or for another material possession...etc etc.

Leading Bad Credit Car Finance Company Denounces Irresponsible Lending Promotions

04.10.11

Moneybarn, the UK’s leading non-prime car finance company have today published a warning for vunerable consumers who are being misled into believing that they can be offered guaranteed car finance.

A quick search online for guaranteed car finance or guaranteed car finance with no credit check and you’ll find lots of websites promoting this kind of service to consumers who are perceived to have bad credit.

In moneybarn’s warning, the company has recommend consumers look carefully at these kind of promotions before making any application, especially as these offers are often made by companies who don’t actually lend money themselves, but work as third party introducers or affiliates. In short, the companies most likely to make these claims don’t actually control any money or set the lending criteria, so more often than not, the guaranteed car finance with bad credit offer is just a marketing gimmick that can’t be substantiated.
