just trying to understand

let's say you owe 18 on the S and sell it for 16.5 - lose = 1.5k this would go into a new loan for the evo - purchase price of evo 16.5 loan 18 wouldn't you still be up side down??
Right the loan with the evo lets say is 18K but the car is worth 22K so i have $4,000 in play room with the evo if i need to get rid of it.

but if the evo is selling for 6k less than book - wouldn't it be long gone by now if the true value was 22...

i didn't those things had a very good re-sale (much less than an s2k)

Just talked to a guy who i respect when it comes to money - he makes a TON of it

he says the value of the evo is what you pay for it - nothing more

Listen to Steve. Forgo the debt for when you can afford it. You don't want to be stuck in a cycle of oweing money on a car for life. I'm glad I waited on purchasing the S myself. No car payments equal goodness.

Hope it all works out for you.
