Then if something happens or you loose your job you have less money you HAVE to pay every month. Bad thing about financing for a long term is you will be upside down for awhile so if you have to sell, vehicle gets totalled, or want to trade you will owe money upfront. Get GAP if you finance for a long term.

I'm pretty sure gap insurance only covers you if there is a total loss on the vehicle, not if you lose your job or become unemployed and can no longer afford the payments.
Quite frankly, if you are even slightly worried about your job or income, looking to buy a new car is not something you should even be considering, let alone a car who's cost requires you to finance for a long term.
