Hi friendlygirl4u,
I am the Cars editor and the article I posted yesterday which you can find on the CARS page briefly touches on this.
My advice if possible, would be to wait until his present car is fully paid off. As I mention in the article, why increase your debt level, especially in this economy.
At the bottom of the article you can sign up for the Cars newsletter so that when I post a new article, you'll get an e-mail telling you what it's about. They contain a lot of useful information, plus the site itself contains useful information.
Good luck !
