Not unless you have the new option in insurance of the new car replacement. If your car is totaled, you will be paid the Blue Book price for your vehicle. This sum is the amount your vehicle is worth at this time. Any amount over this sum that is still owed to a car loan is still due.

What can you do if your car is stolen and you still have a loan on the car but your insurance does not cover theft and they recover your car totaled?

YOU pay off the loan like you agreed to in the contract. You likely agreed to have ins. that covered theft also. You should have had full coverage on a car with a loan on it. Sorry, you have to pay the loan off and now you own a totaled car! Comprehensive coverage isn't that expensive and would have covered theft.


What will happen if you cant pay back a tile loan and you junked the car?

If you can't pay back the title loan from a pawn shop due to being totaled and you got a cut check from your insurance company, I suggest you use that check to pay off that loan to avoid a lawsuit because the pawn shop will not see that insurance check you got from the totaled car. If you don't pay them off and they know the car is totaled, then they will come after you in civil court for the amount of the loan + damages + fees. If you got no check from the insurance company then they will just come after you for the loan. They do not fully own the vehicle because you did not sign over the title to the pawn shop. You are not allowed to sign it over to them unless you are really selling it. Some states do allow this but check with your state laws about it. All they are going to do is file a lawsuit against you for the amount of the loan unless you made payment agreements with the Pawn Shop which I would do.


Where can you go to obtain a loan threw the FHA?

When you get an FHA loan it is not funded directly through FHA. FHA is essentially an insurer for loan. So the Mortgage Insurance paid on an FHA loan is an insurance policy for the company giving you the actual loan. Most any bank or lender can give you an FHA loan.

If your car was totaled in an accident how do you go about getting total replacement value?

You will only get the book value of the car at the time of the accident. It may not be enough to replace it, but that is how insurance works. If you have GAP insurance through your bank with your loan, then that insurance will cover the difference in replacing that particular make/model of car. This does not pay enough to replace the car. It will pay the remainder of your loan after the insurance settlement. You may still owe the bank your deductible amount.

No, you can only be liable for the loan. If the car was totaled and did not have insurance then you can be held responsible for the balance on the loan. Any accident or damages that occurred would be the responsibility of the driver/owner of the vehicle. All your signature did was say that you will pay the loan if the borrower fails to do so.
