"Rising Negative Equity: The Growing Challenge of Underwater Car Loans"

As used car prices continue to fall, more people are finding themselves underwater on their car loans, with the value of their trade-ins not covering the remaining debt. This trend is particularly affecting newer vehicles, as the depreciation is hitting them the hardest. While there are significant discounts available for luxury and large mainstream vehicles, those seeking more affordable transportation may struggle to find similar savings due to restricted supply. Overall, the current market conditions are making it challenging for many consumers to find good deals on both new and used cars.
