Basically, they owe banks more on these cars than they are worth.

Pretty much any new car that is financed is underwater when it's driven off the lot unless the buyer put at least 30% down.

True, but usually not so much that when it comes time to trade it in on a newer vehicle, the owner is so deep underwater that making a sale is impossible because the lender won't do it.

That's the dilemma this gentleman is talking about in this Twitter thread.

Exactly. Except this blogger uses 40 one-sentence paragraphs to say the same thing. And adds exclamation points and panic emoticons.
