After struggling to understand your post, I believe the answer is yes.
Trade-in your car or sell it privately, and arrange financing for the 19K car. You can finance through the dealer or a local bank, credit union, or internet establishment (E-loan, Peoplefirst, AAA, etc.).

It doesn't matter what your car cost.
What matter is this:
Purchase price of new car - 19K plus TTL
Trade in value of your car combined with what you owe on it. For example, you may have paid 15K for your car but the dealer will give you 10K on trade in. You still owe 13K. So you are 3K "upside down" in your trade.
So the price for the new car will be 22K plus TTL. They roll your negative equity (3K) into the new purchase price.
Unless you owe LESS than the trade in value of your car I would not recommend you make the change until you do. This is a good way to get into financial trouble and a good way to make it take longer to pay off, and pay more interest on a car than it's worth.
When you get ready to trade in the new car you will be even further upside down it. That will REALLY suck.
So the question is, how much do you owe on your car and how much can you sell it for/trade it in for?

It's an equity situation and depending on how much inequity you have, paired with your credit score will determine the situation.
1) Call the bank which you financed your Lancer ES and get your current payoff.
Then report back to the forum with that and I'll give you the wholesale value.

On top of everything else, are you certain you want to pay that much for a car and finance it considering there is no warranty and it's a Mitsu with questionable support? I mean, it's cool and all, but if you can get out even on your car somehow, it might be better to get an EVO RS, no? Just my 2.
