I live in Northern Virginia, right outside of D.C. I know the Jeep would do better in snow, but down in Norfolk where I go to school they never see snow, and back up home the snow usually doesn't get too bad. Worse case scenario I could drive my mom's Hyundai Tucson

As far as the straight trade goes, I could sell my Jeep for around $10,000, maybe even more in the summer, and I've seen Crossfires on AutoTrader selling used for about $12,000 at dealers. I figure with some coaxing I could talk a dealer down enough.
