You don't own a leased car, so you can't sell it. That'd be the same as renting a house and trying to sell it. If you can't afford it anymore, contact the leasing agent, and make arrangements with them. Without a doubt, there will be some stiff penalties, though. This isn't actually true at all. We are currently leasing a Toyota Corolla Sport and have contacted the company handling our lease and they have specifically told us that it is entirely possible to sell the leased car at payoff amount, whatever that may be at the time you decide to sell. It isn't the same as renting a house due to the fact that when renting a house you aren't tied to it for 36 months and then you have the option to own, trade it in or walk away. Leasing a vehicle is practically the same thing as getting a loan on the vehicle which you can pay off, but the catch is... If you don't sell it before the lease end, then you drop it off (hoping there isn't any extra money due to extra miles and wear and tear), buy it for the current value of the car or trade it in for another car. Leases allow people to get lower payments and this is what drives most people to take a lease on. Otherwise, the best option is to buy the vehicle which is almost the same as leasing accept after 36 months you own it and can do whatever you want with it... or you can sell it before hand (same as a lease) and move on. So... if this doesn't make sense or answer the question... We just sold our leased vehicle... So it is possible.

Can you sell your car with payments left on the loan?

Someone cannot sell his car if there are still some pending payments on a loan. It is however possible to enter an agreement with the financier so that the remaining payments can be financed by part of the proceeds from the car sale. An extra interest payment may be charged for that.


Can't make the payments and can't sell what do I do?

Talk to the lienholder to see what they want you to do. You might be able to renegotiate the payments. As a worst case scenario, you could do a voluntary repossession, which at least saves you from having to pay the repo fees.


Can a bank refinance your car if you are upside down on the payments?

YES! You don't make your payments and they will repo. They will then sell the car and you will be responsible for the difference in what the car sells for and the balance on the note. Don't let it happen. Contact the lender and work something out.


If you have never been late on mortgage payments and file bankruptcy can the trustee make you sell your house to have more income to pay creditors?

If you have a lot of equity they can take your house, but if your loan is about what the house is worth then they don't want it..... They want to be able to sell somthing to pay the creditors.... It is very rare for a home to be seized and sold in bankruptcy; generally it is done voluntarily by the debtor/filer because they cannot manage the mortgage payments or a reaffirmation agreement is not possible. The state homestead exemption is what protects a home from a forced sale in bankruptcy or in a creditor lawsuit.


How do you sell goodwill?

You cannot sell goodwill, at least in accounting. Goodwill is the amount that you overpaid. You can sell an asset at a high price but you cannot sell directly the goodwill.

How long after a reposession can you reclaim a vehicle?

Up until the day they sell the car. As long as you pay the repossession fees and make up all back payments plus any administrative charges. That is if the lender agrees which they do not have to do. You broke the contract when you failed to make the payments on time so they can refuse the payments and sell the car.

When creditor puts lien on your home will mortgage company make you pay it or foreclose on your home?

As long as you keep making your mortgage payments the bank can't foreclose. However, you cannot refinance or sell the property until the lien is paid. If you sell, the net proceeds after paying off the mortgage would go to the lien holder to satisfy that lien.As long as you keep making your mortgage payments the bank can't foreclose.

If you still owe a considerable amount on your car that isn't running should you continue to make the payments and insurance or voluntarily surrender it or sell it and take out a loan for the balance?

Sell or continue to make the payments. Do not let the car be repossed. This would hurt your credit and is the last thing to do.


How do you sale a car on payments?

Very bad idea. Never, ever, sell someone a car and let them make payments to you. If they cannot get a loan from a bank or financial institution this proves they are not a good credit risk. You may end up not getting any money and then having to go through the legal hassle of trying to repossess the car. Sell the car to someone who can pay you cash.
