Wish I could help with the actual question, but good luck on the return and damn you for having more money than me! (or at least spending like you do)

You might be S.O.L. they do not have to buy the car back from you, they might if they feel they can make a quick resale, but more than likely they won't want it back....... You really shouldve thought about different cars when you purchased it.

Why the hell did you put 18's on in the first place? That's the first half of your problem.

trade-in value...

Just FYI.. I bought my wife a 2002 Chevy Tracker. We got it for $18,200 in September. In early January, I went to a Mazda dealership and got it appraised for a possible trade-in. The most they would give for it was $11,000. We only owed 16.8 on it then and it had 4,500 miles on it. I was expecting a little decrease, maybe around 13.5 or 14k. They wanted to turn around and look at my credit to see if I could handle to roll over the difference! What a joke! I laughed in their face, and walked out.

If I were you, I would probably keep the Lancer, and just keep this as a lesson. Never impulse buy a car!

Wait until the owed amount and trade-in value are failry close, and trade that biotch in. Or, try to sale it personally. You'll get more that way, but it is so much more of a pain in the ***! Good luck.

Consider yourself owned.

Let's just say your stuck with the car for however long you financed it till. Usually when you sign the papers and drive the car off the lot...depreciation starts. From that point on your car is adjusted by "used" market value no matter how many miles you have on it. A dealer "might" take back the car the next day or even a week from purchase...but chances are they will not buy back the car. Your best bet is to sell it privately but you'll lose out couple to several grand. The buyer will look at it like this...why buy the same car used if he/she can buy it brand new with lower APR. Expect to lose out a grip of money if your seriously thinking about getting rid of it.
