If I just financed a car not even a month ago and I want to trade it in, will the dealer discounts cover the negative equity?

Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

I just financed a car and I owe $13k on it. I want to trade it in because I hate it
and I hate nissan. If another dealership is offering retail consumer cash, will
that cover my negative equity? (around $4k) The car is worth about $9k.

The only way to cover negative equity is to fork over the dough. Either cash or a much bigger car loan for your next car.
