Why the 2022 Car Bubble is Bursting Now
The 2022 car bubble is finally bursting, and millions of Americans are trapped in auto loans worth more than the cars themselves.During the pandemic-era supply crunch, vehicle production collapsed while demand exploded. Car prices surged to record highs, and buyers increasingly relied on longer loans to make the monthly payments look affordable. Some stretched those loans to 72 or even 84 months. Now the consequences are catching up.
Car values have fallen from their peak, but the debt hasn’t. Millions of drivers are facing negative equity, meaning they owe more on their loan than their vehicle is currently worth. For subprime borrowers, the situation is even worse.
High interest rates, rising living costs, and monthly payments approaching or exceeding $1,000 have pushed delinquencies higher. Repossessions are surging, with 1.73 million vehicles taken back in 2024 alone. The highest level since the aftermath of the Great Recession. And every repossessed vehicle adds another car back into the market. More inventory can push prices lower, creating an even deeper negative-equity trap for borrowers who bought near the top.
The 2022 car boom looked like a new normal. Instead, it may have created one of the biggest auto-loan problems in decades.
