Negative Equity Trade In
One of the most common things we see with new clients is negative equity in their trade in. You go to trade in your car, but the balance is greater than the current value of the car. Watch below to better understand what negative equity is and how to avoid it.
WHAT IS NEGATIVE EQUITY?
Negative Equity means you owe more than your car is worth when you go to trade it in. This is also referred to as being “upside down” on a loan. When you consider that a car can lose 20% or more of its value within a year, it’s easy to see how you could wind up owing more than the car is worth.
HOW TO GET RID OF NEGATIVE EQUITY?
The good news is there is no better place to retire negative equity than in a lease. The terms are shorter and you just pay for the part of the car you use.
