Do you need GAP when buying a new vehicle if you put $5000 down on a $55,000 vehicle?

If I’m taking doing a 5 year payment plan I would still need it?

GAP coverage is advised until the equity + appraisal > note balance

If I put $5,000 down payment that will get me to value or below value.

lol. That doesn’t matter. What about in a year when the vehicle is valued at $35,000 and you still owe $45,000.

I wouldn't buy it if I had other liquid assets that could easily cover the difference if I had to use them.

Unless OP drives an extreme number of miles, he can probably estimate about what he'd have in negative equity over 5 years. Nothing like paying $800 as insurance for not having to come up with $3000 if an unlikely event occurred. It's a shite deal in most cases.

It is new. Toyota salesman said they will send a full refund for GAP automatically when you pay down to the value of vehicle. I really don’t believe that but I asked 2 times to make sure.
