Financial statements may seem intimidating at first, but they’re nothing to sweat—just take your time.
Car loans
will be listed in the liabilities section of your statement since they represent money you owe.
On the other hand, the actual cash value (ACV) of your vehicle(s) will be listed in the assets section, since it represents money you have.
By subtracting your car loan balance from the car’s actual cash value, you can determine whether you have positive equity or negative equity (also known as being
upside down
) on your loan.
