I’m financing a 2024 crv sport hybrid and leasing a 2025 Honda civic I’ve had the civic for a year now and I go on deployment soon, so I was thinking about trading in both my vehicle and try to get a new 2026 crv for the wife, (i don’t need 2 cars while I’m gone, wife only needs 1) I went to Honda talked to them about it they said we can work something out, talked numbers for a bit and when they showed me the numbers . they didn’t make sense, for the crv they were offering 27k I owe about 32k on it still, they said they can offer me 24k for my civic if I give it back to them (which is a lease ) that’s 51k in total, how can I be sure that money is going towards the new crv I wanna get, it’s cost 44k, the new one. I asked for the financing monthly payments and they were about 800-900 per month with 5k down which is crazy cuz I’m trading in 2 cars then I asked for the price if I would lease, the payment were 750 for 36 month which doesn’t seem bad compared to 900 a month ( right now I’m paying about 1k a month for both my cars so 750 is better then 1k! But point is is the negative equity really impacting that hard or is there something going on?? How can I be sure I’m getting the trade allowance from my 2 cars going into my new contract for trying to get 1 car
