Ok folks, I have a question on a trade, but not to sure how it works.
Currently I have a 08 Ford Focus which I am upside down on my payments (I owe more than what the car is worth).
I owe like 17K on it and a dealership (or stealership) said that they could give me 10.5K for it. So I am looking to get rid of some of this debt. I see that this particular dealership has an 05 Focus for $5400 with 98K on the clock. How would that trade work? Since my trade is worth more than his, as in a 5K difference would the dealer owe me 5K as in cut me a check?
Excuse my ignorance, but that is why I am asking the question?
