Will a dealership buyout my loan?
Robert Harper 
While the dealership is able to pay off your original car loan, you’re starting out your next auto loan in a negative equity position. The negative equity on your first loan doesn’t simply go away, it’s just added to the price of the next financed vehicle. This is called rolling over negative equity.
Can you finance a car if you already have a loan?
A lender is going to look at you as a huge risk and not want to give you financing. Remember, your credit report and credit score are two major factors that have to be considered when a potential loan is about to be provided. Indeed, you can certainly take out one loan when you already have another one out.

Is it better to pay off a car loan before trading in?
When you take out an auto loan, the car is used as collateral until all the money has been repaid. In most cases, it’s in your best interest to pay off your car loan before you trade in your car. That said, it’s still possible to trade in your car before it’s paid off. That equity can be used towards your new car loan.
How does a car trade in work if you still owe?
Your car loan doesn’t disappear if you trade in your car. However, the trade-in value of your car becomes credit towards your loan. This credit might cover the whole balance. If it doesn’t, your dealer will roll over your loan, combining the deficit with the amount owing on your new car.
