My parents have owned 3 Accords. ;) I agree, if you're under 25 car insurance considerations sometimes outweigh car considerations. 2 grand a year in insurance is madness.

I just want to get rid of it and buy a used Cadillac for the same big monthly note. I just don't know what to do but I feel so badly about getting taken advantage of again.

Even after the tax you will be better off holding the money. (Of course you can have non-financial reasons to pay it back but that's another story.)
