It might really save you time to just get a car loan quote online to check out what the going rates are. You might be really suprised. Also if your credit is not good, a lot of online loaners are more willing to help you.

What I most often tell folks is that an online quote at is worthwhile.

wrong. they will only give a fair market value of your car. and will not pay you in full. however,the $6500 say give you $3000.00 for the car, and the $3500.00 will be put on and added on top of your loan with intrest.

Dear Vida,

It would depend on what you agree to do with the Escape. If you’re trading it in to the dealership on the Edge, then paying off the old loan would be part of the agreement you have with them if that’s what you need done. The loan on the Escape needs to be paid if you do trade it in, either by you or by the dealership though. So, for example, using round numbers, if you purchase the new vehicle for $20000 and the dealership gives you $10,000 for the trade-in, you would have a $10,000 difference between the two. After paying off the loan on the old vehicle you would need to get a loan on the new vehicle for $16,500 plus taxes and fees, less any downpayment you would put toward the purchase. Go to they have better interest rates than banks do.

Hope this helps.
