Personally, I would increase the payments on the car to decrease the amount that you are "upside down". When that loan is paid off, I would keep the car for an additional 2-3 years until you can put a significant down payment on another vehicle.
 
Ditto. Where else can you earn 18% on your money, after tax?

how much would I lose? by scottinky

last week I leased a 2008 Nissan Armada LE. It has EVERY conceivable
option. It is a 39mo lease, my payments are $588. I put down some on trade
equity. I love the truck, it is spacious, and smooth and quiet. the mileage
isn't that much worse than the 03 Pathfinder I traded for it. I am having a hard
time thinking I made the right choice, even with a 2nd child coming, and
a full time video business. It's crazy, but I was thinking about turning it
for soemthing more fuel efficient (Passat Wagon) and was wondering how
much I woudl lose? my cap cost was 44K. I am guessing about 5-6K.

I'll guess that you'll lose closer to $10K..
 
That's a lot for one week..

you like the vehicle, so you are in a great position. Keep it! If you can refinance at a lower rate, go ahead and do that. But whatever you do, don't increase the # of payments. In other words, if you have 36 payments remaining, then refinance at a lower rate on the same 36 months. IF you can pay more each month, then do it. You could get a lower rate and the same # of payments, but continue making a payment equal to your current amount and probably have it paid off in 30 months (for instance).

ouch. the 08s arent even listed on Edmunds or KBB. 10K buys much gas. Even on a 23k Passat, I think I could manage to lower my payment, but the Mada is so comfy, it prolly isn't worth the trouble to lose that much money and reliability
issues with VW.

Shifty,
 
The fact it's a four banger really hurts that BMW!

The experts who frequent this thread will need more detail about the CTS (see the guidelines). Most seem to only "work" here during the week.
