A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Can I sell a car that has negative equity?
Yes, you can sell a car with negative equity, but you will need to cover the difference between the sale price and the loan payoff yourself. For a private sale, this means bringing cash to closing. For a trade-in, many dealers will roll the negative equity into your next loan, which sounds convenient but increases what you owe on the next vehicle.
