I want a new car so bad what should I do?

Ok I have a problem I know! I have a 2017 Ford Escape base model. Nothing wrong with it i got it 2 years ago and it barely has 21 thousand miles. But I see fancy cars newer cars and financially I'm making bank compared to 2 years ago. I really want to trade but I know it's bad as my loan was terrible and I financed basically 30k for a car worth then only 18k and I still owe 15k and now it's worth 10k. Advice please!

Learn your lesson and continue pay off your existing finance. Then consider a new car.

Go to a Chrysler dealer. They are desperate.

Grow up; pay off this car in full; save enough to buy a new car in cash and buy one then

If you are making bank, pay off your Escape, save up for a couple months and by your fancy car with cash.

Quit buying new cars if you don't know how to make good deals.

You have to finish paying for your last mistake before you can make your next mistake. And, no matter what, DO NOT LEARN from your mistakes.

You're only going to make your "upside down" situation worse if you try to trade now. Keep your car and pay off your current loan before even thinking about a new car. You made a bad decision and now you have to live with the consequences. Just don't do it again next time, which it sounds like you were about to do.

If you're hell-bent on trading now, you'll have to have the necessary cash to pay off your $5K negative equity plus whatever down payment is required on your new loan. BTW, your current car may not be worth $10K to a dealer in trade. So you may need more than $5K.

Payoff the car you have, remember you can't go thru life buying the newest model of everything that comes out. You will always be poor working for that shiny new must have

When you are in a hole, stop digging.

What you want doesn't matter in the slightest. What you can AFFORD is what matters, and switching cars now will cost you at least $5,000, on top of the price of the new car.

Your current wants are going to put you in bankruptcy court within a few years. Stop being an idiot, drive your current vehicle for the next eight years, so that you will get your money's value out of it, and then, the next time you buy a newer vehicle, do your homework before you sign the contract.

Buy the best priced one.
