    You here all the time about people losing their shirt with buying a new car which may leave you wondering how to trade in a car that you still owe money on? If I told you it was a simple as drive into the dealer, set a price and walk out with a check you would probably think I was blowing smoke. However, the truth is that it's that simple. The complexity starts because a lot of people find themselves a loan that is upside down where they want to trade a car with negative equity. This was why it is so important for you to get best possible price from the dealer when your trading in your car. The problem is dealerships are trying to buy it for the lowest price you will let them get away with. Upside down car loans are everywhere and people attempt to trade in cars like this everyday. I provide some very useful tips in this video to help you get the most for your trade.

      Because of COVID-19 the auto industry is saying that wholesale is down 8% but retail is down only 1%. AKA we’re going to give you less for your trade and sell you a car at retail. Don’t be a sheep, GET what your car is worth or go somewhere else!

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  4 года назад +3

      One of my current cars was a rental (AVIS). I've had it 9 years with 130k miles and no major issues but I bought it from a dealer who purchased it from an auction. I have never dealt with the rental company directly. I would just give them a call but all car buying rules 101 apply. You can get a instant online trade in quote at autotrader .com. Don't let them steal your trade.

      @Diamond Edwards Hello I bought a 2012 mustang coupe premium in september 2020. It wasn't a trade in. My car loan is 5.5. which is 66 months. My car payments is $350 a month which is a lot. I been having a buyers remorseful crisis off and on since october. I wish i would have been more open to 4 door cars instead of mustangs. I put my heart and soul into wanting a mustang but at the same time i wish i was more open to 4 door cars but i can't go back and change something that's already happened. I can't refiance my car right now because i owe more on my car than what it's worth. I'm not planning to keep my car for all 5.5. years and i'm not planning to refiance. In the near future i want something that's more affordable and not so expensive. My question is how many years do i have to wait to trade my car in without refiancing?

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  2 года назад +8

      I through about doing a video just covering those letters! Most of the time it's just a marketing tackle to get you in the door. Sometimes the marketing team don't even tell the sells team so they are clueless when you bring it in.

    @tonspike 3 года назад +9

    Thanks for the easily digestible information. Something I haven't found anyone cover yet is: how do you protect yourself when trading in a car? How do you make sure the dealer actually pays off the loan? Do you get this in writing? When is it safe to cancel insurance on that vehicle? Etc.

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +8

      The best protection I can think of is due diligence. You are responsible for the old loan until it is paid off even after a trade. I would track the old loan until I see the balance is zero and if it took more than a week or so I would be on the phone. You should have this in writing but check your state laws. I would be comfortable canceling insurance the day after it is traded because you should have a documentation showing that you sold it to the dealer. Legal owner and debt obligations are not always one in the same.

    • @DiamondEdwards

      Thank you Sandra. Putting up with a very nice 2017 Acadia while you get it paid down/off is a smart move. You don't want one car deal following from car to car. Watch this view for "10 tips to buying a car and not hating life after" ruclips.net/video/m1FE-gyyaJY/видео.html.

Can/Should I add more cash to get the payment where I want it after moving the positive equity from my trade towards the car I’m trading it in for and how quickly would I need to check for my loan on my trade in to be $0 paid in full.

    Awesome stuff, man. If you are upside-down say, $8000, can you go to one of these buyer dealerships and sell your car to them, and then after that, take that remaining $8000 or so that you owe the bank/lender and roll it into the purchase of one of their cars for sale? I'm trying to downgrade, as my loan and payments are wayyy too high ($710/month) for my 2020 Charger R/T Daytona. So I'd like to sell the Charger and then buy cheaper, with the $8000 still owed rolled into it. Can they do that? Thanks.

    So does a good credit score help in this situation? Like having a 700 credit score and above? If you really want to get a new car(or a very low mileage used car, years 2019/2020) then you would have to put a big down payment with a little negative equity for a trade-off?

    I have a special scenario: Let's say I got a brand new car from the dealership a few months ago, and I now owe about 24k on it, then months later you see that the dealership is selling an exact new make, model, color, and year of your car for about 22k; could I trade in my car for it? If one, my car's trade it value is the same of the new one? Two, can it be from the same dealership that you purchased your new car from? Three, would my 24k be essentially gone since I would trade in my car for their new car and be debt free or would a new loan be started?

So they telling me I gotta pay it down some more, than lastly not to mention when I got the car it had issues but I didn’t know that.. Now 2-3months later the Catalytic Converter goes out… So my question is it a done deal for me or can I still be able to trade it in?

      The dealer will do everything in there power to made that trade happen. They will love to help you. Be warned that it is up to you to ensure you are making the best financial move to yourself. They will make it sounds good even if it sets you up for failure later. A cheaper car may or may not be the answer. Please do your research and proceed with caution.

    is it wise to look for the car you want an then contact a dealer based on that? Do they offer wiggle room on used cars? I checked with KBB they say 15,559, i owe 18,519. I have hated the car since I bought it. I am eyeing an older car because of all the information I've gathered but looks like they go for about what the trade in value is. Any advice? Thanks for the video

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +1

      What is the real reason you want to buy a cheaper car? Is it because you realize that cars lose value and you don't want to spend 18.5k on something that is going to keep dropping in value? If so, I would pay down the loan until I can break even, sell the car and go buy a much cheaper car. Drive that for one year I save my old car payment, sell my cheap car and upgrade to something nice. Rinse and repeat.
      You can negotiate any car deal. You have to find out what the car you are buying is worth so you set realistic expectations on what price you can get. I like to use autotrade and search nationwide for the car I want with similar miles and condition and use that car as a reference point. Use autotrade, truecar, cargurus, etc. The easy way is to negotiate via email with the dealer and setup an appointment to go in once you have lock in the price. This does not obligate you to buy the car. You still have to follow common sense car buying advice to make sure you don't get ripped off.
      You will need to come up with a different between what you owe and the loan balance don't roll this into your next deal. Check out this video on 10 car buying tips ruclips.net/video/m1FE-gyyaJY/видео.html
      PS If you ever need to buy a car that you hate to get you from point A to B buy as cheap a car you hate as you can find. That you way you lose little to no money on the deal. Just my 2cents

      @@DiamondEdwards Thanks so much for your response. I had a 2015 toyota corolla and honestly loved it. It did exactly the job I needed to do and I enjoyed driving it. Then my sister needed a car and since I was done paying mine and she was in a rough spot I gave her mine. I jumped to quickly into purchasing a 2018 camry $24000. I hated it immediately but I didn't know I could take the car back so I kept it. its not a fun ride because its so long and feels more like a mom car than what my style is. Plus now two years later seeing that I will continue to pay on a car I dread having to drive (first world problems) I have been watching more videos on trading in. I see it as why pay towards a car I hate when I can at least put that money towards a car I don't mind driving. But if there's no way to break even with the trade in sounds like I'm better off just dealing with it and paying it down.

      Definitely the best option is to deal with it and pay it down. Most other options are going to compound the problem later. People kill me telling folks a a 8-10 year old car is too old or 100k miles is the magic limit. Looks around as your driving down the road and you will see cars much older than that still getting people where they need to go. I have a 10 yr old car with over 130k miles and I trust it the same as the truck I bought brand new 4 years ago and guess what, it has 60k miles. Is it any less dependable than a new truck NO! but somebody out there will tell me different.
      Check out @scottykilmer or @chrisfix to learn a ton about cars. Also, you can look into auto repair class at your local community college and that will save a tens of thousands of dollars in repairs over your lifetime. You will never be scared of an older car again.

    What if I am going into the dealership with money down that is more than my negative equity? Would that still help my trade in to get that credit on the new vehicle I’m willing to purchase?

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +2

      Like I said in the video treat this as two separate transactions. If you have negative equity part of your money will be use to pay that. If you have any money left that is your down payment. Negotiate the out the door price of the new car, once that is in writing then negotiate your trade. Once you have the deals negotiated its okay to write it up as one transaction. They will try over and over to combine these transactions early in the process because its harder for you to see what you're getting for your trade and what your paying for the new car. This is how people screw themselves everyday on car lots across world. Do not let this be you. ruclips.net/video/m1FE-gyyaJY/видео.html

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +3

      It's always nice to have positive equity. The question becomes what do you want to drive for the next 5 or so years and how does this car purchase fit into your overall financial plan. Are you trying to get out of debt? If it was me and I wanted a Tacoma really bad I would find one equal to your value (out the door) so it is a even swap. Or I would get the Colorado paid off and start focusing on building my net worth so later I could buy and drive whatever I wanted without thinking much about it. That's what I am doing now that I paid off my truck. Which way are you leaning?

      Sure, I would buy a cheap car to get you from point A to B and use the money you don't spend on a new car payment to pay off your old debts. Once that is clear up its become easier to save for a nice car. It's hard to do anything when you are saddle with hefty payments.

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +1

      Sorry for your lost. As long as the title is not in the cosigner name the trade should be straight forward. The dealer send a check to bank for the trade in amount and you are responsible for the different unless you trade value is equal to higher than your loan balance.

    Great video bro! I currently have a 2016 Honda Accord Sport which I still owe about $20,000 but was looking to trade the vehicle for a used 2017 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 which cost about $27,000. The trade in value of my vehicle is about $16,000 on KBB so this would result in negative equity correct? Do you think the dealership would pay off my existing loan or would I have to place a large down payment. How should I go about this?

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +7

      Thanks Richard! Yes that means you are $4,000 in the hole with negative equity. This money has to come from somewhere and it will be you. The dealership will pay off your existing loan because that is the only way they can get the title. You can pay the $4000 as a downpayment or you could agree to purchase the $27,000 car for $31,000. Don't forget about Tax, Title and License so maybe $35,000. But remember with this option from day 1 you are $4,000 in the hole and will go deeper each month. Think about the next time you want to get another car. The way I would go about this is pay the negative equity and put a nice downpayment on the new car. More importantly, I would take a step back and see how this purchase impacted my 5 and 10 year financial goals. Do it take you closer, farther or have no impact on your goals. This is what I didn't do in 20's and it costed me 100's of thousands dollar. I hope this helps. Check out this video car payments: ruclips.net/video/cUotQTUU-d8/видео.html

    Hi diamond,
    I hate my car(2017 CRV) and want to get a 2021 Venza. According to KBB and NADA is is worth around 20k. I owe 9k. How do I approach the dealer? Do I tell them I plan on trading in my car and show them the KBB/NADA/Carmax appraisal, or do I negotiate the price on the car(with them thinking I am not doing a trade in but rather financing), then tell them later that I plan on trading in? Does it matter? I feel like if I tell them I am trading in at first, they will somehow try to take advantage in some way.

    • @DiamondEdwards
      @DiamondEdwards  3 года назад +1

      Everything is separate! (Purchase, trade-in, payment) First, negotiate the purchase price of the car. If they ask about your trade just say "I need to see if I can get a price on this new car that I'm comfortable with before I can think about a trade". DO NOT LET THEM COMBINE THIS INTO ONE NEGOTIATION. Once the price on the new car is set then negotiate the trade in. You can get one of those instant quotes online from autotrade/kbb and use that as a with the KBB/NADA values as a baseline. Once you get the price for your trade that you are comfortable with and move to the finance office to close the deal, this is where you negotiate any fees and extras. Don't buy any extras gimmicks. If you do not get the price you want or the amount for your trade that you want WALK AWAY AND DON'T BUY A CAR THAT DAY. There are millions of Venza produced and thousands of dealers. DON'T SIGNUP FOR A BAD DEAL! Be sure to test drive this car and be sure you want it before you go through all of this.

      It would go against what this channel stands for if I didn't say this...Take a step back and look at your complete financial picture and ask yourself where do you want to be financial 3 yrs, 5 yrs and 10 yrs from now. What is the impact of purchasing a brand new car on those goals? How do does it fit the plan? Are there other options that can meet your intend? Also, why do you hate your current car and what changed? You don't want to be buying new cars every few years if you can make the payments with no problem. I hope helps!

      Most likely the dealer will handle the paperwork as they do this everyday. Just remember you are on the hook for the old loan until it is closed out. Track the loan until you see the balance is zero. Do not just sign some paperwork, toss them the keys and never think about it again (even if thats how you feel)😆
