i bought my car for 15,000 plus 5,000 interest totaling 20,000...i want to trade in my car for a new malibu LT2 that costs 22,000..how much would i have to pay for my new loan???
 
You don't pay interest upfront, so your question is a little confusing.
Not sure the kind of car you bought, but typically, as soon as you drive it off the lot, you just lost about 20% of the value.

You could trade in your current car, buy the Malibu LT2, and they would roll any negative equity into your new loan.
I wouldn't advise it because you will lose a killing.

After you roll the negative equity into the new vehicle, If you end up owing more than 20% of what the Malibu is worth, many lenders won't lend you the money...especially in this economy.
They will likely require an additional down payment.
