so I am trading in a 2 door wrangler for a 4 door, they have offered me 17K on it in writing. I owe 15,500. I am thinking about paying down extra 500 in principle in order to give myself extra equity to ensure that TT&L on my new vehicle will be covered. is this a good idea?

You are coming out ahead on a trade?? This, in itself, is cause for celebration.

What's the difference in paying the $500 to the loan or the TT&L? Should be the same, no?

I'm not really seeing how this will have much effect. You'd be getting like 9% of $500 by doing that. Is the extra $45 really making a difference?

Why not just pay the $500 during the purchase

Seems like its the exact same thing and will save you the headache of having to wait for an updated payoff and the $500 to clear.

Is this a decent price for the new jeep, or is it jacked up to cover the trade in value you are getting?
