You can't point your finger and say "this is the reason why" there's way too many factors. I see more used camaros on car lots than civics! When the 370 came out I knew I'd never own one and completly wrote it off. Now I'll prolly have it for it's entire life!

Topically when you buy a new car it takes about 2.5-3 years of payments to get out from under the negative equity. I know my payoff is now below ACV (actual cash value). May will be 3 yrs for me.

I thought most people put enough cash down such that they'd never be underwater on their loans?

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.

Wild. If I finance I always figure how much I need to put down so I'll always be ahead. Guess that's not as common of a practice as I thought.

Everybody runs their finances differently i guess.

This is probably true in most of the cases, even the ones not mentioning financial troubles. After all, people like to lie and hate admitting they messed up. Also, many rush purchases like this normally which only exasserbates the problem when you start looking at such a niche vehicle like the Z.
