That is entirely up to any dealership you want to trade the car in at. If you plan to buy from a private owner, you'll have to sell and pay off the loan on your own. You should know that trading in a car you still owe money on results in a less than favorable trade-in allowance for you.

You are going to have a bigger payment because you probably owe more than it is worth. The balance could be added to your new loan if you qualify. If you are trying to save money I doubt your plan will work.

This can be done but is a dealer by dealer basis. You might have more options with an outside lender like yield solutions....good luck
