    Trading in a 1.5 year old Malibu

    OK GAP insurance. You may want to look into how much they actually pay. Some companies say they will pay off the difference of what the car is valued at and what you owe. But many actually mean they will pay the difference up to so many dollars. Hopefully you GAP is not like this.

    Trading in a 1.5 year old Malibu

    These figures WOULD be just about right. I worked in car sales a bit, the dealer always leaves room for work. IE, fixing scratches, tires, brakes, even if the car is in pretty prestine condition. They will low ball, or try to hide where the negative equity goes in the new car. BAST@RDS!
