Trading in Paid off whip for a Used Hybrid? vol.IbucciMane

[The Minister]

So I have a 2015 whip that is paid off, and city driving is killing my MPG.

Thinking about trading it in for a Hybrid Avalon from the same yr (they seem to go for 20-25k or less). My thought is if I can get something for 20 or under and can get 13-14k on my trade in that it may be the move.

Lol is this a bad Idea?

Maybe a used Prius. You should be able to find a used 15 Prius for around 15-16k

Better off just saving the money you would have spent on payments and then use that to get a new car or invest. Paid off car is the way to go.

Yeah, when I thought about it I think the dealer would probably low ball me like hell for the trade in.
