US Sale Total Loss Neg Equity

Hello. Kinda in a situation. I got into a car accident and totaled my car. My gap coverage expired and now I have a $7000 balance I’m stuck with. Can I roll the negative equity into a new car loan without having a trade in due to the total loss?

If your loan was long enough to extend PAST the gap term... which normally goes to 84+ months... AND youre still 7k under water... son you bought way too much car.

Bikes are cheaper... start there
