You might find that a smaller car isn't neccesarily cheaper to run.I've got a V8 Commodore and had a 2.0 litre Saab turbo.It was cheaper in the Saab around town but cheaper to take the Commodore to Invercargill from Dunedin.Think about what you're using your car for before buying another.Possibly cheaper to keep paying off what you've got rather than taking on another loan.Not many car yards for instance would be keen on you trading down as where's the money in it for them.

OP, get a Honda Accord or Torneo (98-onwards). Super reliable, economical, fast when you need it and they look good.

OP --the problem is that unless your "commy" is a minter and/or a late model you may find its value has dropped a LOT. Before thinking of trading it or selling it and getting another car you might want to see what you owe on it first. Then get an idea what you will REALLY get for it as a trade in. If you are interested then post up the cars details and we'd be happy to give you an idea of what its worth. Being holden of course its worth many thousands more than one of those blue oval cars :-)

sorry mon you owe about what it would sell for so you are unlikely to get near that as a trade in Youl go backwards 2k or so I'd say --and that buys a LOT of petrol

You not ging to get anywhere near what you want for it so your still going to be in debt sadly.You havent had this car long at all (have you!) so is there another reason your selling apart form to expensive to run! Not that anyone needs to know really. But if you drive it sensably it shouldnt be that costly. What sort of costs you talking about per week to run it and what distances you traveling. A smaller car may only cost $10 a week less to run anyway.

Ive had it for 3 orso months and ill fill it up evert12,14 days mainly rural driving i dont live in town but yeah id probably be best to keep it till i own it then just upgrade to a vz or vy s or ss. How old do you normally have to be to get insurance for a v8!

OMFG.
Sounds like your best bet is to try to find another 20 year old to sell it to for what you paid for it.

No age restriction as such, some won't even look at you and others will charge like a wounded bull. At 25 things get a bit better in that department.

or sleep on it, re-read these posts, and think harder about not digging a hole.
