The $10K saved will more than offset the sale of the TD.
Brian has been making a habit lately of making sense. Go figure.....

What he says I think is dead on, and you should consider it carefully. The difference in payment might be $50 bucks a month at the most probably, and a clean TD is obviously worth more than that. I just wouldn't pay the new car price. Let somebody else pay the larger part of the depreciation.
I know the feeling, though. My wagon just dumped all its freon in less than 2 weeks, so I have quite the leak somewhere. Sigh.......
