Exclamation Prospective member! Need advice!

Hello CF! I'm Jerry and I'm a D.Charger R/T Daytona owner.

I've had my car for 2 weeks now, but it seems like it is devouring my wallet! It's a V8 Hemi. Not only is gas expensive, but my payment spiked from $270/mo (old car) to $390/mo (with insurance) and my insurance also jumped from $70/mo to $120/mo. I'm paying almost $550 a month, NOT including gas! Yes I drive A LOT. I guess I made an impulsive buy on this car.

Now, I have a few questions:

My loan is at $23k at 2.70% (bought extended warranty)
Car was sold to me at $16k with 80k miles.
My previous loan had a $5.5k pay-off balance.
My truck was "underwater" I received 2k for truck from dealership.

Anyways, I've only had my car for 2 weeks and I want a Chrysler 300!

I will not contact the dealership I bought my charger from because they don't have any Chrysler 300's.

What are the steps I should take to change car? Advice? Suggestions?

If you have any other questions to help me make a decision, please let me know! I would really appreciate it

Sounds like you want to make another impulsive move.
I think that regardless of what you do, it is going to cost you money.
My advice would be to tuck the pride in the back pocket and buy something more affordable.
