Yes. Not being able to pay a loan doesn't absolve you from it. They may repossess the car if the situation calls for it, but you'll still own any back payments.


Can you get a cash advance if you have defaulted on one in the past?

Since cash advance lenders typically don't require credit checks, they operate a database of names associated with defaulted loans. When a person who has defaulted in the past attempts to apply for a second payday loan, the database is triggered and the new, potential lender has the option to deny the loan. A large percentage of lenders will provide a second payday loan to a previous default because they can require that persons checking account be auto debited as payment as soon as a paycheck is deposited. Thus, lessening the likely hood of defaulting.

A private auto sale is considered a contract. As such, if the buyer isn't paying as agreed, he's in breach of ths contract and subject to civil remedy, such as a law suit. Unless specified in the contract or allowed by your local law, you can't take the property back. That places you in breach as well and could be considered auto theft.
