You like a car and still have finance on your old one so can you trade it in for the car you like and move the finance onto the new car?

Yes you can. However how much you owe and what your current car is worth comes into play. IE if you owe 12000 but the car is only worth 10,000 you will need to finance this extra amount on your new car. Some finance companies will not allow this, so you may need to pay the difference if there is one.

Your finance car was stolen does your insurance claim go to your finance company to pay off the cars debt?

The monies from the insurance company will go towards the car payoff. Now, the insurance company is entitled to pay off the worth of the car. If the car is worth less than you owe, you may have to pay back the rest. For Example, say you owe $20,000.00 on a certain vehicle. The Blue Book(www.kelleybluebook.com) value of this vehicle is $18,000.00. If they pay full value of the vehicle $18,000.00 you may still owe the rest $2000.00 to the loan of the vehicle. This means you were upside down on the loan...


What is business finance?

Finance is the science of funds management, or the allocation of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of certainty and uncertainty. A key point in finance is the time value of money, which states that a unit of currency today is worth more than the same unit of currency tomorrow. Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level, and expected rate of return. Finance can be broken into three different sub categories: Public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.

How long after a missed car payment does the finance company repossess the vehicle?

The question is, "Why would you worry about a missed payment when you have interest in the vehicle?" The money that you used as your down payment and any payments you have made total your interest in the vehicle. Why are people running from the repo man when in fact you can place the finance company on notice that, if your interest is repossessed, you will file criminal charges in federal court against the finance company and get triple what the car is worth. I guarantee you they won't take it. You can also put a mechanics lien on the vehicle to protect your interest in it.

Is it possible to get more than the blue book value of a totaled car if the insurance company offered 6k but you need 10000 to pay 10 percent in taxes plus finance costs for a new car?

You should expect to get the amount necessary to purchase a similar car in similar condition inclusive of taxes and registration fees. If you owe more on your totalled car than what it is worth you are still obligated to the finance company for the balance of the loan.


Can a motorcycle that has been taken apart be repossessed?

The company who repossessed the car now has the collateral to make up for the amount of the balance of the loan owed to them. If there is more owed on the loan than the car is worth, it is possible to be sued for the deficiency. If a judgment is entered after this occurs, and that amount is not paid or settled voluntarily, the lender could seek to garnish a bank account or a person's wages or file a lien against real property. If the motorcycle has a loan on it, it is already encumbered and not subject to a separate lien.
