It's very rare. Most people try to use their current car as a down payment. If you figure that tax, title and license in AZ is about 10% then add in the instant depreciation. I would guess someone would be looking around 20%-30% down to stay above water from point of purchase.

Now if you buy used... It's A LOT less. But new is ruff.
