should i trade in my 06 AT coupe for 05 MT

hey everybody i bought a black 06 coupe like 4 months ago. i LOVE the car but its an auto without nav and i really want a 6 speed with nav now. i got a good deal on the car it only had 25k miles and i paid 22 for it. i really like how it has the keyless entry, and projectors. i would love to get a another black 06 MT but i cant find anything within 100 miles of where i live. WHAT SHOULD I DO????

thanks alot for the help
john

you'll def take a loss on your vehicle, but the vehicle you want will also be cheaper...catch 22...

Dont be like me and be inpatient! If you really want to take such a big loss trading in a car 4 months after you get it. At least wait till the right car and the right price comes. Your in a financial stance that you should take your time on the next purchase, or you'll be so upside down it'll make you sick.

Get another 06

I say wait it out, it will take a while for you to rebound the loss, so wait until you find what you are looking for

Dont do it if you are young to be in the negative.

I guess we learn the hard way. If you already paid off your car, just try to find private buyer that will buy your old car for about the same amount you bought it. It will be a bit hard but someone else is looking for a black 06 auto somewhere. But stick with the 06 MT. I actually had an 05 auto and now have a 06 MT. No regrets so far. But at the current state trading in your auto at the stealership and getting 06 MT w/ nav you prob will lose like 8K (my guess). haha dont hold me to those numbers.

i have a black MT 05 w/o nav, but it wasn't easy to find it.. they are few and far between.. the good deals are gone if you don't act quick, too. I don't mind not having navi but I really wanted black on black. I got black on wheat..

how the heck you are 18 and you paid cash w/o loaning? Only unless you don't go to school and been working since you're 14.

Why do you need the nav, you're a guy learn to read a map.... Wait
until you find the car you REALLY want, next spring or summer it will
show up. Try to stick with an '06 OB MT with about the same mileage you
currently have....G/L

I am/ was in the same situation as you. I really want a mt car because I've never driven one and would think the G would be a fun car to learn in. I also wish I was able to have black on black but instead I got black on wheat.

Facts: I'm 18 and paid off my car like you. Got my 06 G for an out of this world deal! If it wasn't for the deal, I wouldn't have a G nor would I have been looking for one.

I say hold off and enjoy the G. Wait for the right car if you really want to trade, otherwsie, it's not worth the loss. Especially if you've added some mods like I have.

One of these days I'll get a mt. Let's just hope I don't fvck up the car/ clutch
