The Basics
Negative Equity, Explained in Plain English
If your loan payoff is higher than what your car would bring as a trade-in, the difference is called negative equity. You'll also hear people say they're "upside down" or "underwater."
Plenty of drivers end up here without doing anything wrong. Cars lose value fastest in the first few years, and 72 or 84 month loans, little money down, or extra miles can make that gap even wider.
Here's what matters: a gap between what you owe and what your car is worth is a number we can work with, not a dead end.
How the Math Works
| What you still owe your lender | $26,500 |
| What your car is worth today | $21,000 |
| The gap (negative equity) | −$5,500 |
Sample figures for illustration only. Your payoff and trade value will be different.
Possible Solutions
Paths That May Work for You
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Your credit, the vehicle you're driving now, and what you want next all play a part in which of these makes the most sense.
Start With a Real Appraisal
Online estimates are a guess. Because trades are worth more in Vineland, your car may bring more than you expect, which could shrink the gap on its own.
Put Nissan Offers to Work
Factory rebates, special financing and Team Nissan savings, when available, can help absorb part of what you owe.
Look at Certified Pre-Owned
A Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle or a lower priced new model can leave more room in the deal to cover your balance.
Explore a Lease
Leasing can bring the monthly payment down for some drivers, which may make the leftover balance easier to handle.
Bring Cash to the Table
Even a modest down payment can close or cut the gap and may open the door to stronger financing terms.
Finance the Difference
With lender approval, the amount you still owe can often be carried over into the loan on your next Nissan.

Common Questions
Upside Down Car Loan Questions, Answered
Can I still trade in my car if I owe more than it's worth?
Often, yes. With lender approval, the remaining balance can usually be paid off as part of your next purchase or lease. The right approach depends on your credit and the vehicle you choose.
What's the quickest way to find out if I'm upside down?
Call your lender for your payoff amount, then get your free trade estimate on this page. If the payoff is the larger number, you have negative equity.
Will carrying my balance over make my payment higher?
It can. Adding the old balance to a new loan raises the amount financed. That's why we also look at incentives, Certified Pre-Owned models, leasing and down payment options to help keep your monthly cost in a comfortable range.
What if my credit isn't perfect?
You can still talk to us. We work with a broad group of lenders who serve many different credit profiles. Final approval and terms are up to the lender and depend on your credit history.
I don't live in Vineland. Can Team Nissan still help me?
