Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

I would like to trade my car for a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit, Overland or
Limited.  I'm wanting to lower my monthly payment.  I am upside down about
6-$8000 depending on $ amount for my trade.

You cannot lower your payment by buying another car and then adding onto the balance another 8 grand. Buying any Jeep is a bad idea.

The amount you owe on your trade in gets added to the cost of the new vehicle whether you're upside down or not. Doing this will absolutely increase your monthly payments because you'll be paying for two vehicles. One of which you no longer have! Unless your trade in is falling apart and costing you lots of money to keep it going this is always a bad idea!! Hope that helps! Jim
