Yeah, that is exactly how we have done it since 1995.
We bought a Toyota RAV4 last year and traded in our 2005 Honda Accord. We offered to give them our Honda plus $25K for the new car and they accepted. We wrote them a check and drove the new car home.
The most important thing is to get a car that you truly want and will enjoy driving for several years, like our 2003 Acura RSX.
