Negative Equity
Definition - The difference between the value of an asset and the outstanding portion of the loan taken out to pay for the asset, when the latter exceeds the former. Negative equity can result from a decline in the value of an asset after it is purchased.
Situation - Your current vehicle is on its last legs -or- Your family has outgrown it -or- You just want something newer or better suited for you and your lifestyle.
Problem - You go new car shopping and in order to get that new car you need to trade in your old one - but you still owe on it and the dealer is telling you "you're way upside down!".
----------------------------------
When making that new car purchase Negative Equity can present a real challenge for a lot of people. Most of us are in that situation due to the current price of cars and the rising interest rates.
And depending upon which dealership you go to, Negative Equity can stop you from getting that new vehicle you really want.
Sometimes, just knowing that you have negative equity will lead you to believe you simply can't afford that new car and you'll throw in the towel - put it off until next year.
The problem is - Next year, unless your car is almost paid off - it will be worth even less than it is right now!
While it's true the negative equity you put toward your new loan will increase your payment, it's nearly ALWAYS a better way to go than to stay in your current loan and wait it out.
----------------------------------
