Many car buyers are "underwater" on their auto loans, owing more than their vehicle is worth, which can lead to financial problems when trading in or totaling the car. The trend of longer loan terms and high car prices, especially with electric vehicles like Teslas, is exacerbating the problem, making it crucial to consider long-term affordability when buying a new car or consider a used car.
