Frequently Asked Questions

What is negative equity?

Negative equity happens when you owe more on your current car loan than the car is worth. This gap gets added to your new loan if you trade in without paying it off.

How can I avoid rolling over negative equity?

You can pay off the difference in cash, wait until you have positive equity, or make extra payments on your current loan before trading in.

Does rolling over negative equity increase my interest paid?

Yes, because you're financing a larger amount, you'll pay more interest over the life of the new loan.
