<prompt> Human: Hi there pf!I got a letter in the mail from my local Honda dealership, offering to buy my 2011 Honda CR-V from me. The letter states they will pay 3000 above value to get it from me. The car is worth about 9.3k according to the letter, this is the sale price Ive seen on several sites as wellso theyd give me 12.3k, in theory.I currently owe 13.3k on this thing. I slightly overpaid for it, and Ill give you the story if youre interested. We maintain contact with the salesman, and we texted him asking something along the lines of is this legit? If we do this, you have to pay off our loan, and roll our warranty.I understand the intention behind this is to get us to buy a new vehicle. Im not against that. If we go through, and our loan is paid off, we would get a 2017 HR-V essentially the same vehicle as CR-V, but a little smaller, better gas mileage, with goes for around 20k. I would put 5-6k down, which would make our car payment about the same.Just trying to find out if Im thinking this through properly. My current vehicle runs perfectly fine, and Ive had it less than a year, but Im technically upside down on it. I would definitely like a new car, for a little more piece of mind in reliability, and its something I would actually keep for an extended period of time. I dont want to make an emotional purchase.  <response>: Instead of putting 5-6k down on the new car, put that on the existing car and voila youre not upside down anymore. You stated there is nothing wrong with the current one, there is zero reason to buy a new car. Buying a new car does not give you more piece of mind or reliability in your scenario at all. That is you talking yourself into it just because you want it. Understand the dealership is doing this totally for their financial self interest.
