Yea, that's why I keep my cars for an average of about 14 years ~180,000 miles. Not surprisingly, I've never had a problem being upside down on a car.Often like the first 3 years for some cars. It's brutal and the main reason you see these huge rebates and 0% financing. Most people are very upside down 4-5 years into their loan and can't trade without the rebates to cover the negative equity- and a lot of times they had negative equity rolled in from their previous car. But that just perpetuates the problem for the industry.
Ford is no better or worse than Dodge or Chevy on this. Wait and see the deals people can get on leftover 17's this fall. But that will drag down the value of all the cars in that model line going back at least 3 years. It's a stupid way to do business but the banks just play along as if they don't know they own an asset that's really only worth 75% of the financed value.
