How much should it cost to rebuild 2005 a Pontiac Sunfire engine?

If you have to pay for damages on another persons car and you don't have the amount requested what do you do?

First, negotiate the amount down. Then try to pay it in installments. The other person probably got an estimate from a friendly body shop person who might have given an estimate on the high side. There is no such thing as a perfect estimate. They all have ranges and theirs is probably high. Negotiate by getting your own estimate, although this will cost you. You will probably get a lower estimate. Offer to pay this amount only or let them take you to court. Going to court will take time and maybe money if they have to hire a lawyer so they might think it better to take the smaller amount now rather than go through a costly time-consuming lawsuit, where they might lose anyway. If it came to a trial the judge would most likely try to convince both sides to settle the case and meet halfway anyway. So, why not do it now rather than months later. Plus, it's very likel;y that the car will be fixed for that lower amount anyway. Another way to get to a lower amount is to tell them that you can't pay it all right away and if they want the money, they will have to sue you, get a judgment and garnish your salary or levy on assets, (which you don't have anyway if you can't pay the amount in full. People understand that they can't always get what they want even if they are entitled to it. You may be completely liable for all the damage but if you can't pay then you can't pay. They have to face reality. If you can't pay the amount they want or even a lesser amount in full right away offer to make monthly payments toward the lower amount. Remember, always get their initial amount down before you start talking payments. Knowing how these things with estimates work, I would bet that they can get their car fixed for that lower amount. Remember also that even though the damage may be your fault, the amount of money to fix the car is probably not the amount they say it is, even if they have an estimate.

How does the court determine the worth of a vehicle in a bankruptcy case?

It sort of depends...if you mean for exempting it for BK purposes....frankly the legal limit is so low (something like $750) that if they really stuck by it, no one would have a usable car after bankruptcy. More a smell test...age, type, model all reasonable, not extravagent, not so much that it would really be able to help your financial situation well...and needed...exempt it. As to the value of a car that is security, very simply...it is the amount it gets sold for...if it doesn't sell for enough to pay the loan/lien...you owe the extra...doesn't matter what the book is, how great the paint...whatever...the amount it is sold for.

You owe 4000 dollars more than your car is worth you can't afford payments what are your options?

You could try refinancing for an extention, for example; if you have 12 months left to pay, get a loan for 24 months. You will end up paying more interest in the end, but your payments will be lower. Another option, sell the car for what it is worth then get a loan to pay off the rest of the car in order to get the title and sign it over to the new buyer. The difference ($4000) you had to take a loan out for can be paid off a bit easier than the whole amount. Another option, get a second job to afford the car.

If you by a car from a used dealership and it gets repo'd do they serve papers?

When you fall behind on your payments from any place, the lienholder has a legal right to repossess the collateral, mainly the car or truck. They can be nice and warn you, or not. The only papers they may serve is the order to repossess. Most recovery agents (repo people) prefer not to tangle with a debtor and take the collateral when the debter doesn't show up. As long as they call it into the police to protect themselves and they have an order to repossess the goods from the bank, that's it.
