 Dear
Terry,
I just traded in my Chrysler 2004 Sebring due
to possible transmission issues. I only had the
car for one year. I traded it for a 2005 Ford
Taurus. It was not my idea and I am not happy
with my vehicle. It is a gas-guzzler. Is there
anyway that I can trade this car in again after
having it for just a month? Please help me!

 Dear Nyechi,
You can trade a car the day after you buy it,
if you want, but you're going to pay a penalty
because what may have been a one-owner used car
is now a two-owner car and loses a bit of value
as a result. I am curious about your contention
that the Taurus is a gas-guzzler compared to the
Sebring. According to Environmental Protection
Agency figures, they should have similar fuel
economy.
But most importantly, why would
you buy a car that wasn't what you wanted? Every
time you change vehicles it costs you money --
at the very least in sales tax and licensing fees,
not to mention your time kicking tires, negotiating
and standing in line for new tags. Do your homework
on what kind of car you want and need before simply
picking one with a neat color or settling on one
someone else likes.
