I've got a friend in this situation, keeps trading in a car that is still negative and gets another and the dealers "make it work" and all she sees is the monthly payment. I think she's on her third car in a couple years and owes at least 15k more than she could sell this one for.

Some of these finaciers deserve what they get when people are in over their heads and have to hand in the keys but all they get is a loss to write off instead of a terrible credit score.
