refinance? i would try to avoid trading it in for somethin cheaper cause they'd rape you on the cars value but as a last resort. Might be able to sell it for 10k and get it

Thats not a bad price to pay every month, if i were you I'd just suck it up, drive on, make the payments, cause whatever will you do without a car, youll have to get one, and if you have 9k left to pay, seems like your doing pretty good, keep going.

Trade it in and get a nice used CRX or a 96 Lude. You should still get some cash back to do modifications and then only pay the insurance. or....get a job?

buck up! Stick with it...it is a great feeling when you get your car paid off...i was so pumped when i made the last payment on my probe! That meant i could trade it and get rid of the POS for something better, like a 2k1 CivEX...anyway, the end will come, I only have 8 payments of 253.71 left and i'm working my *** of to make thosem all by the end of the summer

your payments aren't crap...........
Find a job.
Look harder.
Even if it's minimum wage........350$$ for insurance and car payment isn't crap.
You can do IT!!!!!!!!...........
