The Expert Podcast

• Did you know up to 20% of the balance on your existing car loan might be removed from what you owe?
• When purchasing a vehicle, extra interest charges or "add-ons" may have been included in your loan without you realizing it.
• Common add-ons include:
  • Gap insurance
  • Force-placed insurance
  • VSI insurance
  • Service maintenance contracts
  • Extended warranties
  • Theft notifications
• These add-ons are often included by the financial and insurance office (F&I) at the dealership and baked into the quoted monthly payment you see in the showroom.
• After paying your car loan for a year or two, you often pay mostly interest, and the principal balance remains high.
• Many borrowers find themselves upside down on their loan — owing more than the car’s current value (negative equity).
• Example: Owing $32,000 on a car worth only $24,000 creates $8,000 in negative equity, preventing trade-ins or sales.
• What if you could reduce your loan balance by $4,000 to $5,000 or more, getting closer to breaking even?
• Reducing the loan balance can help you:
  • Trade in your vehicle
  • Sell your vehicle
  • Work with lienholders who may offer a short sale process
• It’s important to explore all your options because removing up to 20% from your principal loan amount could dramatically improve your financial situation.
• This could help you escape high payments and move into a more affordable vehicle or one better suited to your current needs.
