Bad idea. Ford resale is crap. And does not support the US economy.
Ford Fusion is made in Mexico providing jobs for the Mexicans and ther suppliers.
Honda Accord designed and built in the good ole' USA out of USA supplied component. An all american car.
Interestingly, Mazda 6, Ford Fusion's sister is made in Detroit at a Ford plant...
^^^^^^^^^
Those Mazda 6 look very interesting and sportier than Accord/Camry. Close=Altima

Drive by the projects, and you will see more Escalades and Lexus SUV's than you would in the wealthy part of town.

The only thing you missed in your calculation is advance for the banks....you can borrow up to 110% of dealer cost and get 0% financing,so if that fusion has MSRP of 24 K lets say dealer cost is 22K+ title ,license ,registration,sales tax,doc fee and 10K negative equity you are at $33854 or around 150% LTV .No way to get 0%

Would it be possible to do that for a borrower who was not tier 1? Presumably this is usually for a borrower who is severely 'upside down'?

Our tier system runs 0-5. 0 being the best 5 being the other end. 0-2 would be no problem, 3 would be iffy and a 4 is hard to get it done, unless they have good credit and it is the overadvance that is making it a higher tier. Lending is really a case by case thing.

Glad you make money that way but I just cannot imagine going that deep into the hole.
 
I'm of the opinion, and have seen it in this topic many times, that the first thing to do when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging!
 
Of course if you're top tier credit you have to be doing something right!

If people with negative equity stopped buying cars the entire auto industry would fold in 3 6 months max. 70% of the people who come in owe more then there car is worth.

.....just buying a car and (gasp!) just keeping it til it's paid off? I guess when cars didn't last as long (and people didn't finance for 60-84 months), trading every three years was a viable option, commonplace; I can't see doing that now, unless you're putting massive amounts of miles on it (or otherwise wearing it out), or you have money to burn.
