When you imported transactions, were the downpayment(s) not part of that 
download?

If so, how were they assigned on the other end of the transaction at import?

Something that might help, if you aren’t already using it, is to turn on 
Transaction Journal view in the View menu. You can also set this as a default 
setting from Preferences. This will show you all splits in all transactions at 
all times. One split will always be for the current account register you are 
viewing, the others will be for the other side(s) of the transaction.

For each downpayment, you should have something similar to:

Cr.     Assets:Checking OR Liabilities:Credit Card
Dr.     Liabilities:Car Loan

Thus the three credit card payments would offset the Car Loan liability with 
increases (credits) to the respective Credit Card liabilities, and the Cheque 
would reflect a decrease (credit) in your checking account.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Adrien
