Bought it new and have done just a few mods thus far. I love the car and it feels pretty fast without putting down crazy numbers. Buttttt, I look at the 370z and get a cream in the jeans feeling knowing that stock it will put mine to shame even with the mods I've done lol. There are a few problems with this idea though. First, the Hyundai depreciates like a mother and I'll be lucky to get a decent deal for trade in. Anddd second, I still owe 19 on her. With that being said, I'd have to trade mine in on an older model if I did. I've done a good bit of research and have found a few 09's for good deals but I feel like it may be a terrible idea to trade back three years and 10,000 miles yet still find myself actually thinking about doing it lol. Opinions?? Has anyone else taken the plunge and traded back on a relatively new vehicle for a different beast?

You've got a nearly new car. Keep it. If you trade it in, you'll take it in the *** since you're either underwater or very close to it. Stop modding the car, save your pennies and get out of the car when it's financially responsible.
Yes, it's a bad idea to trade a nearly new car for a older used one of unknown mileage and upkeep.
Or be a typical consumer and keep rolling negative equity forward so you'll still be paying for the Hyundai six cars from now.
