Best Answer

Selling a car under finance ( also known as a secured or mortgaged goods) is possible however many factors must be taken into consideration before doing so.

Reviewing the terms of the finance contract are essential given that a number of car financiers and banks may have clauses that require you to disclose the intent and have the vehicle released from its charge.

Legally ownership is not transfered without the agreement of the security being released by the finance company where the loan was secured and only after the loan has been settled.

Resale values will affect any sale of a car. Depreciasion and condition are the most obvious which will leave you with a shortfall being an outstanding balance, to clear the finance on the vehicle.

Private sales are most likely to gain the best sale price but wuill still leave you with a balance on the finance and therefore a liability.

By selling the car you do not transfer the ownership of the vehicle. This means that a finance company could reposess the vehicle if you default on the payments or do not pay the balance on demand, regardless of who you sold it to.

Can you hide a car from repo man in Florida?

Sell it under the table for a cash deal. Otherwise you can not hide it for long. They will find it. Oh and if you do sell it when it is under re-po then you can go to jail. PAY FOR THE CAR! Even if you sell the car and no longer have possession, if the finance company can't get the car back and the payments are not made, the will come after your paycheck in court. Now you don't have the vehicle but you are still paying for it with garnishment of your pay.
