If you financed your car then it is always owned by the finance company, regardless of if the dealership is in business or not, until you finish paying it off.
No, but the finance company can.
If you mean can the dealership take your car, if you don't make your payments. Yes. Usually the finance company will take your car, because the dealership has already passed your account to the finance company. If you have made a deal for a car that the dealership later discovers you don't meet the financial criteria, they will take your car back and offer you a lesser model for deal that suits your budget better.
You should be able to go to the DMV and get a duplicate. It takes about 5 days.
Most toyota dealerships off the best car finance deals through their own finanace company. In Dallas Champion Toyota is noted as probably the best dealership to get a car financed through.
find out another dealer who can finance your car.
what will happen now since the auto finance went out of business I just lost my job what do I do
If the finance company has been paid in full, then why would the dealership (or the finance company) want to repossess your car? If the loan hasn't been repaid and is long overdue, then the dealer and finance company will probably decide who actually repossesses the car. Either way, it's up to them, not you. Best thing to do is check the fine print in your loan agreement (which you signed when you bought the car) and see what it says about overdue payments, repossession, etc. If you've lost it, call your dealer and ask for a copy.
If theyre out of business there wont be a car dealership
The only time the purchaser can cancel auto financing is in the begining of the loan during the "interview" with the finance company. That is one of the reasons the dealership will not tell you who the finance company is before they get "funded" by the bank. If you knew who the finance company was before the dealership gets funded then you can cancel the financing. The other issue you have is the contract signed with the dealership. They can still say they will be the bank and stick you with the car and the financing.
Nope. The dealer is completely unaware of your financial situation.
Just becasue the car dealership went out of business does not mean you now own that car. It is more than likely that the finance that was used for your car was provided by another party..... Sadly, you will have to continue making payments
No, the dealership cannot repossess your car for a downpayment. However, if there was a downpayment paid, and your check bounced, that's passing bad checks, which depending on the amount of the down payment, could be a felony. Read the fine print on your contract and you'll see that if the car is related to the commission of a felony, it puts you in default, which means the finance company can repossess your car. It's all in the fine print, but dealerships and finance companies are all in business to make money, and they pay people like myself very well to make sure their interests are covered. I'd suggest paying your downpayment.
