So basically I purchased an 2007 Infiniti M35 Sport Base model a month ago for about $25,500 out the door. I wanted to trade this one in for another one with more options including navigation and a dvd player. I go to infiniti today and would offer me 21k for the car. The one i want is $26,000 plus fees. They said they would work with me and see what they can do. But basically my current monthly payments are $247 and if i wanted to trade the vehicle in, my payments would increase to $360. Is this worth it? In the long run i would be paying almost a hundred dollars more for the next 7 years( which is my current loan term). 
HELP!

Can you afford the extra $113 a month you'd be paying? If it's not an issue, trade in the car and get the one (with the options) that you want.

*Question...why on earth would you buy a car, only to try to trade it in a month later? Infiniti sees you as a walking dollar sign bro....

I'd forget it...extra money JUST for navigation & a DVD player?

Use your phone for navigation, and install an aftermarket TV/DVD setup. You'll save thousands...

7 years to finance a car?!?!?! That's ridiculous... by the time you're done paying that off your car won't even be worth $5k. I wouldn't add to those payments for "more options". If you have the money, put it aside and try to pay off that car sooner (if it's an open loan).

.... sigh.
the longer the payments are... the more your paying. please get a calculator and see. 

longest you should have a car note for is 3-4 years MAX. being 3-4 years, your car will depreciate meaning your car will lose money while your paying for a car you bought 1-7 years ago. 6 years man? lol thats OD

oh btw you got ripped off. no hate just truth.
