So i fianally paid 32 or my evo i thought if i would bye a new one it would be worse because 34,000 + 6,000 would have been 40,000 it would have really been over!
33,000 + 7,000 neg. equity + 2,300 tax is $42,300.

sounds like your current ride is pretty good why not keep it. remember that when buying your next car, you are never at the mercy of the dealers, don't let them screw you over...ever, b/c in the end you are the one in control, you are the buyer.

Good advise from the guys, like they said (and your doing) keep it, fix it and rethink this after paying some of the loan down.
I would never trade unless they give you payoff....I'd say your original trade to get the 03 hurt you, work on making double payments and stuff that will go into the principal and wont get eatin up by high interest...I would do that long before taking that kind of hit, ouch!
Just keep your VIII because 28k is a lot left for an 03 and no dealership is going to give you even close to that much unless our buddy mark sebby can hook you up. Again you can easily use the extra money to boost your VIII or pay off more of your loan...trust me if you run 12's or 11's, no ones gonna really care if you have a IX or a VIII, all they know is that you have a beast.
if you can afford the payments go for the 9. i just traded in my modded 03 8 at medina for a 06 BR 350 SILVER SSL. they gave me 21.5 for my car and got the 9 for 33.5 plus the BR package, my 8 had 23k on it.My car was payed off so i was alright, not in your financial situation but if you can afford the payments go for it you,ll be happy as hell
