Yes, people have negative trade equity as a down payment, so they end up borrowing more then the purchase price of the vehicle. Then they take out 6+ year loans, and have the same issue on the next car.
If you want to use the proceeds you'll need to close both houses on the same day. It's not worth doing a bridge loan either. Also if you want to close on the house you're buying before you sell your house, then you'll need to financially qualify assuming you're making payments on both loans...
I kind of liked it better when it was earlier in the season. When it's in the middle of big 12 play no one cares about that game as much since we're always more focused on winning big 12 games. If it's our last non-con game of the year or a December game I'd be down.
