What is negative equity on a car?

Negative equity means you owe more on your car loan than the vehicle is currently worth. For example, if your loan payoff is $22,000 but the car would sell for $17,000, you have $5,000 in negative equity. This is sometimes called being upside-down on your loan, and it complicates selling or trading in the vehicle.
