FAQ

Negative equity, answered

What desk managers ask about structuring upside-down trades.

What is negative equity on a trade-in?

The customer owes more on their loan than the trade-in is worth. That gap has to be absorbed by the next deal, which is why so many of these deals fall apart in F&I.

How does AVA® help close negative equity deals?

Enter the trade details and loan balance. AVA® calculates the negative equity, and MatchBook searches your inventory for vehicles and programs that absorb the gap.

Are matches based on lender approvals?

Yes. MatchBook connects lender approvals to your inventory and only shows vehicles that fit the approved deal structure, so deals are validated before they reach F&I.
