What's the Apr? You can have them refinance it. Was it a 6 year or 7 year loan?

I learned the hard way myself. It's not until that last 1 - 2 years at the end of your agreement where you see the balance drop off. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it's like you pay all the interest up front. So if you purchased in 07 and you have a 5 year loan, you still have 2 years left. this is where you will see it drop. Man so many people including myself have made this mistake. The effects last for years. What ever you do don't trade it in for another payment. You will lose you ass and you will be asking yourself the same question 3 years from now.

^ What he said, First you pay off the interest then in the last couple of years you start actually paying off the car.

I would find out the Apr from your dad or look at the statement when it comes in and see what the actual balance is. Also. Since you do pay for the car but your not on the loan you can still get credit from it. If you write a check for the payment you can send copies of it to the credit bureaus. That way your credit gets good also. You should look into that.

You have to prove to the credit bureau that you are making the payments. Not your parents. So the money orders or whatever you use must have your name on it. Also you can piggy back on your parents credit by having them add you onto there credit cards as an authorized user. The banks will automatically start reporting your parents payment history to your credit.
Go to macys (easiest to get approved) apply for a store card and keep a low balance and try to pay it off every month. That will be a good start to building your credit. Just don't go ape shit and start applying for every card you see.

If you paid 21xxx for the car and your payments are 480 a month. Your Apr for a 6 year loan is probably around 17%

You should start seeing the loan amount go down soon. Banks want there interest first. If you have questions about the loan have your dad call the bank that the car is through. Not the dealer. They have nothing to do with that.

Ya. You have about 3 more years.17% interest means your paying a shit load more then you actually paid for the car. Your total loan amount after interest is prob.$34k
So after you made all your payments for the 6 years you will be paying 34k for that car.

Yeah man it's a trap. Financing cars is a joke if you don't put a nice down payment like 50%. Learn from it. Hopefully you can stick it out and pay it off. The thing that really sucks is that your car is probably worth 1/2 as much as you owe or close to it huh? So if you were to trade it in any negative left over would transfer on top of your new loan. But they would stretch it out for another 6 - 7 years so your monthly payment is "affordable". The car's depreciate way faster than you can pay them off.

A 6 year, $21000 loan at 18% APR, with $480/month payment, will come out to almost $35000 by the time you're done paying it off. You will have paid 1.5-2x's what the car is worth. It's how banks stay in business.
In my opinion, if you don't qualify for any auto loan under 5% APR, you should save up and buy a car that you can afford to pay off completely, or work on your credit and wait until you are able to qualify.
What it really means is that you've made a mistake that most of us have made at some point, whether it's credit cards or cars we can't afford.
The important thing is that you learn from it.
In you're situation, I would try to refinance or borrow money from your parents to pay it off as fast as possible. You've already paid most of the interest, so you're balance should start to go down a bit faster. Another option is to sell the car and chalk it up as a $17000 lesson, which is a bargain compared to how much money I've blown over the years lol. Good luck.
