No. They can only collect the total owed them once. They can repossess your vehicle, sell it for next to nothing, and collect the remainder from you and the co-signer, part from each, or all from one or the other, but not all from both.

(If they're smart, they'll just go straight to the co-signer, since the co-signer is presumably creditworthy, and will pay up without much argument. Of course, then you have Dad to deal with!!)

No, and why would they? If the payments are up to date and have been made on time, there would be no reason for the dealer to repossess the vehicle.

Can a lien on car you perchused full in cash but dealer has a lien on the car still be reposessed?

If you purchased the car in full with cash then there shouldn't be a lien. Look at your paperwork to make sure it says "Paid In Full" if it does the dealer has no right to repossess a paid in full vehicle. A lien is where you are making payments for a vehicle and the vehicle is being used a collateral until the vehicle is paid off.

If you can not meet payment on a car can you take it back to the dealer?

Returning the vehicle will not relieve you of the responsibility for the debt. Typically your lienholder will sell the vehicle and charge you for the deficiency balance. However, if you cannot pay for the car the lienholder will repossess it and follow the same procedure. Also, unless the dealer provided "in house" financing they probably have no further interest in the vehicle. You are now obligated to pay the bank or finance company. In this case the dealer may not allow you to return it to the lot.


Can a used car dealer repossess a car with a balance of only 124 dollars if there is a loan on the vehicle from a bank?

IF the dealer is acting as the banks agent(hired to repo), YES.IF you bought the car from that dealer, the dealer may have had "recourse" on the loan, so that he/she had to do the dirty work if you didnt pay. $124.00 is not the main question, how LONG has the $124.00 been in default??
