I'm not sure where this goes, but I think I'll get better visibility and responses here in the WL. Thanks for all the help.

Okay, here's the deal. My girlfriend needs a new car BADLY and I need to get something with better gas mileage. She can't afford it so I'm going to do the most unselfish thing I've ever done.

Trade in my new car.

I LOVE my car, but I need to do something to help us out. I'm considering trading in my Mustang for a 2002 Miata for me, and then finding a first gen Miata for her since that's what she wants.

By trading in my Mustang, I'll be losing my @ss since I'll have about $8K in debt on it, but it should still be enough to lower my payments enough to where I can finance this Miata as well as a cheaper one for her.

Any advice on this situation? Any at all? All help is appreciated since I'm really stressed about this. Thanks.
