I have a 07 2.5sl full loaded. If I trade in my sedan how much would i get and how much I need to add if I want to get a 3.5SE coupe? Or should I just give up on getting a 3.5. Are there really any big differences between 2.5 and 3.5? Any suggestion?

Right now it would be hard to determine what a "used" 2.5 is worth since the car is so new. It is doubtful the dealer would give you what you owe on it due to "drive off depreciation". In that case, you would be upside-down in your payments as they would tack on the difference to the 3.5.

Best bet would be to try and find someone to take over payments if possible. Of course, you could say "screw it" and be the first to throw a custom turbo setup on a 2.5.....

Is the car paid off (paid for the car in cash) or are you making payments on it? You would be committing financial suicide if you trade in that new of a car. If your really set on getting a coupe I would recommend selling your car privately where can get more money for it. Either way just think about it before you take a dive just because you want a coupe.

DOUBLE WHAMMY.

You will probably get less than your Sedan is worth on the trade in You will likely pay more than retail for the Altima Coupe

That could be a $10,000 swing - ouch.

wow I actually paid the whole thing already. sigh tat sucks. I always wanted to get a V6 but my mom said like waste gas or something. If I only get like 21,000 bak i would rather try to tune up my car, like intake or something, but none of tat came out yet.
