Going in reverse and trading out of BMW for a less expensive car may mean less out-of-pocket for you, but you will take a depreciation hit on a new car.

Thanks! That is a LOt. You must’ve HATED those cars. I’d probably buy Lincoln, or possibly even Cadillac or Buick - which I’d never thought I’d even consider. I’m also considering pickup trucks, they can be tricked out pretty nice these days.
I can afford it, but it grinds on me to be paying so much each month, with no car to drive. The hits just keep adding up.
I think if I put a dealer on notice that I want a specific car, they might alert me when they get a car that the buyer can’t take, turned in nearly new, or something like that. That is how we got a nice deal on our Honda odyssey years ago. Someone ordered and then didn’t want it.
It’s a project I didn’t expect. Car shopping really kinda sucks. I’m just so terribly frustrated.
