For the bank to release the title, someone will have to make up the difference.
Lease or retail installment loan-dosen't matter. You call your lienholder, get your pay-off and sell your car. If your pay-off is greater than what you are selling the car for, "you" simply pay that "negative equity" to your lienholder. If you sell your car for $15,000.00 and you owe $20,000.00 you have to pay your finance company $5000.00 and you are done. The $5000. is called negative equity.
It may vary by state, but in most palces you are responsible for the negative equity.
To get out of a negative equity car, consider refinancing the loan to potentially lower monthly payments, or make extra payments to reduce the principal faster. You can also sell the car and cover the remaining balance with cash or a personal loan. Alternatively, trade the car in for a less expensive vehicle and roll the negative equity into the new loan, though this can lead to further debt. Lastly, consider waiting until the car's value increases or your loan balance decreases before making a move.
No
The amount owed is greater than the car's worth
High. Equity is the difference between what is owed and what something is worth. For instance if you owe 5,000 on a car, but the car is worth 3,000 there is a negative equity of 2,000. The less you owe the higher the equity.
The cars equity is worthwhile if it is possible to sell the car without losing too much value from the time of the ownership of the car.
Yes. However, you are probably goping to have to cover some negative equity.
Theoretically, yes. However, you will have a lot of negative equity to cover.
Absolutely. The only issue will be how much equity you have in the car. In other words, if the car is worth $5,000 and you owe $4,000, you have $1,000 in equity. If the car is worth $5,000 and you owe $6,000, you have $1,000 in negative equity. Be sure to verify your pay-off amount before you begin to shop for a new car.
Deciding whether to trade a car with negative equity or turn it in depends on your financial situation and goals. Trading it in might allow you to roll the negative equity into a new loan, but this can lead to higher monthly payments and more debt. Turning it in, especially if it's under a lease, could help you avoid further financial strain, but you may still need to cover the negative equity. Assessing your long-term financial implications is crucial before making a choice.
To compute for ROE if there is loss and negative equity, divide the company's net income by the stockholders' equity. A negative ROE does not necessarily mean bad news.
