<prompt> Human: My mother and I have been thinking about getting rid of her current car and getting a new one. She got a used car a few years ago, but had a horrible credit at the time. Since then her credit has improved and it is at a decent point now. Currently, her car has 92,000 miles on it and the payoff amount is 9700. The car has a horrible interest rate attached to it, over 15. Ive looked around similar models and mileage on Craigslist and Kellys blue book and could get 7-8k for it. The dealership is offering 5K for the car. Im thinking of helping her sell the car, perhaps paying 2000 out of pocket to pay off the outstanding debt on it. Now that she is in a better financial position, go to a dealer to get a new car with a reasonable rate. Im looking for advice and wondering if this is right thing to do. Im thinking about wanting to do this soon before the mileage reaches 100K on the car. Ive never sold a car before and would appreciate any advice. Thank you.Edit:The current car is a 2009 Toyota Corolla. She pays about 380 for it at its current rate itll be paid in 3 years. No warranty on it. The car runs well and I know it still has plenty of life left in her. Im thinking if we sell this and shell out a bit out of pocket, we can use the same payment money to pay off a newer and better car for the same payment amount. However, Im still doing my research and looking into refinancing as well. Any tips on that process would be appreciated. Thanks for the advice.  <response>: Refinance the car she already has.
