Will it be wise to spruce up my 2014 owned car, for the new 2016 and pay off the rest in payments?

Ok so I have a 2014 honda accord and I want the 2016. I own the 2014 for a year and half and it has the usual wear and tear on it. I was thinking of detailing it back to like new and sell it back to honda. Then take that money and put it towards the 2016 and pay off the rest. Is this the best way of going about it?

Why not sell it to an individual buyer, where you'll make more money than selling/trading to a Honda dealer where you'll only get wholesale trade value? An individual buyer will appreciate the detailing while a dealer won't much care.

So you are going to borrow thousands of dollars to change to a slightly newer version of the same car? Why? It's not like the 2016 is much different than the 2014 - they are the same generation. Pretty much the same car.

Trading in a vehicle after such a short amount of time is foolish - I could see it if you were going in a different direction, like if you needed a pickup truck or something like that, but that isn't the case here - this is a bad idea.

Good luck being in debt when you're 70.

Yes why not, you've just lost 30% of the value on your current car and will take another 20% hit when you drive the new car out the showroom
