Over 26% of new car trade-ins in Q2 2025 had negative equity, pushing borrowers into deeper debt.
Over 26% of new-vehicle trade-ins in Q2 2025 had negative equity—the highest in over four years—meaning borrowers owe more than their cars are worth, driven by high prices, rising rates, and rapid depreciation.
This debt often rolls into new loans, increasing monthly payments to an average of $915 and total financing by $12,145 compared to typical buyers.
Experts recommend staying in current vehicles longer, refinancing if possible, or leasing to avoid deeper debt, while prevention strategies include buying used or certified pre-owned, making a 20% down payment, and choosing loan terms of 60 months or less.
