Refinancing is definitely near the top of the list. I know getting something else would cost more; but it would get me something else, which has a value in and of itself. Just as the incredible reliability I've had with my Mazda6 has a significant value to keeping it.



If it's monthly cash flow, leasing is almost always the way to go. You could definitely get something pretty decent for $200-$300/month which unless you put a huge down payment on your 6, is less than what you are paying now.

IMO, I think you are overestimating your 6s value somewhat, a friend of mine has a 2003 6s and was looking at trading up into an Acura or something (as he got a promotion) but couldn't get what he thought was fair, even with a private sale. Can't hurt to put it up for sale if you are serious though.
