I dont know what kind of answers you expect here.
You either repair your car and continue using it while you pay the finance or you leave the car as it is and pay the finance.
If its not running, very few places will take it as a trade in against a cheaper car. Even if they did it would be at rock bottom price.

Definitely get a second opinion Do you have gap insurance that is insurance you take out when you buy the vehicle to cover the difference between what you own and what the car is worth. You can try calling your auto insurance as well. Maybe try selling it as well the repairs that are too expensive for you wont be to someone in the business

See what happens when you do not plan ahead.
Pay the repairs and the p[ayments and then save your money until you can pay more than half the price of a better car or new one. Pay the balance in two or less years.

we deal with this every day people buy cars and dont leave any money free to repair them.
only choices you have are repair the car, or leave it broken and have to pay finance on something you cant use.

Learn a valuable lesson to get an estimate first. I'm afraid you're stuck paying if the repair is already done.

Your choices are simple....
1. repair the car and deal with it
2. Trade it in -- yes you'll have negative equity - but so does everybody else
The value in trading is that you should be able to trade in to newer car with a warranty. consdiering what you have already exoerianced I would suggest you look at an extended warranty or a car with a huge manufacturer warranty like hyundai. You should also ask your dealer about gap protection.

contact your finance company and explain with written proof that the car is uneconomical to repair and see if they are prepared to refinance for a better car as technically it belongs to them,otherwise you are stuck,hope your finance is not a back street one.

Please let us have more details. If for example your transmission is shot then you might get a second hand on at a reasonable price. It is also possible to go to specialist on say transmissions or similar and get a real good price. You need to really look at this and hopefully you have not just said fix it!
