Update. I thought it over more. You SERIOUSLY should not be looking into another car. You said you've got more money coming in. I suggest you either pay double or triple every month until its payed off.
Yeah dude I walked away man, im gonna try and double the payments , that c6 is looking really good lol now should I really cancel the extended warranty? And throw it to a bill?

You said $1700 right? How many miles you got now? My 05gt had 75k on it driven hard and never had major issues. Only things I had were dead alternators (50/50 it was my fault) and clunky front suspension.

Default Sell your car!

You can't afford it. You shouldn't even consider financing another car. Sell your current one, take the hit on your bad deal, go buy a $500 beater (yes there are such cars), save up all your extra cash, and pay off the debt. By that time you will have learned your lesson.

Never buy a new car they are one of the worst investments. Pay cash for used cars at least 18-24 months old. Let someone else pay for all the depreciation.

Car dealers are such crooks. Next time tell the guy you come to buy a car - not a payment.

I think gap is only needed when you owe more on the car than its worth. I know you are in that current situation, but you won't be forever.

This is my first new car, had 5 before it. New is freaking awesome. Something like the new mustang is difficult to find used, it just came out. So your options are to either wait until more used ones are available, or try to find a deal on a new one.

My mom just bought a used 2010 S4, she wanted a particular color with the red interior so it took her several months to find one. She called dealers all over the US. One in Texas gave her a ring when one was coming off lease, she snatched it up.

Something else to consider is people aren't buying new cars as much, they're holding on to their current vehicles. This is causing a shortage on used vehicles as well as driving their prices up. I got my new mustang for the same price as an equally optioned used one if not a little less since I got 0% financing.

FYI. there is no GAP insurance that will cover that large of a difference in loan to value. Read the fine print because you are getting scammed there as well.

Yeah Know it don't cover rolled over money.

I'll prolly just keep it for awhile maybe supercharge it idunno. Prolly Better off saving the money, and making more monthly payments.

From my short stint in car sales (I'm too honest for that sort of thing!) I can honestly say that this an AMAZING point! Ignore the salesman when they try to spin it into a payment. It's a stupid sales tactic and a douchebag one at that! Educate yourself and do the math on your own. Don't buy in to what car salesman say. They are ALL full of ****.

Yeah dude I hear ya, that's why I walked away from it, but I need to figure out a way to get out of the negative equity , making more monthly payments is hard at this point but is prolly the only thing to do to get it down.

Only thing you could do is buy a beater.
