The average trade-in value according to NADA is $11,000. If you owe $18,000 but can get $11,000 trade-in, that means you will still owe $7,000 on the Camry. Add that $7,000 to the new vehicle cost of $25,000 and you will be financing $32,000 (vs the $24,000 you financed w/ the Camry).
Most banks/ lenders aren't going to want to give you a $32,00 loan on a vehicle that's only worth $24,000. Your payments would be much higher if they did. (Unless you have a nice down payment to put down, that is.)
