How to get an iPhone 6 for cheap? - 1

I currently have an iPhone 5, which is wrought with software issues, and battery issues. However, my phone is out of warrinty, but I'm also not eligible to upgrade at discounted price till March 2015. Is there any way that I'm able to get an iPhone 6 at a discounted price? My phone has an estimated value of about $200 dollars, but that a $400 dollar iPhone 6 is still not affordable. Is there any way that you know of that I can get the new phone now, rather than in March? I'm with Verizon, if that helps.

I'm having the SAME PROBLEM! I have a Iphone 4 and my contract isn't up till June of 2015. I heard that Verizon had a deal that we could get a free iphone 6 by turning in our old iphones. But I don' t know if the deal is still active though.
