Repossession

For any car that is impounded (not available for release without a police OK) or stored (available for release to the registered owner without a police OK), a written or verbal notice must be given to the party from whom it was taken. If no verbal notice of the vehicle was given to the person who had custody of the vehicle at the time of impound/storage - a notice must be mailed(15-20 days) to the last registered owner and legal owner (loan holder). If the storage fees and any back DMV fees (if any) are not paid within generally 30 days, the tow company may sell the car for lien fees. Notice of the impending sale is to be sent to the registered and legal owners prior to the transfer of title due to the lien sale.

Yes. Talk to the seller/dealer.

The end of each month is a good time to buy a car because many of the lots want to get rid of their inventory. Also just before Christmas or the beginning of a new year. Just before Christmas is slow, and the beginning of the year the new models are coming out and they want to get rid of the older ones. Pick Fridays to set up a deal on a car you may be interested in. Fridays are usually good days for most because of the weekend coming up. Even though car salesmen work hard and on commission and most weekends they still go out for drinks and have a good time ... so pick that Friday if you can.

I bought a great Ford Taurus from a car dealership (1 year old and 16,000 clicks on it.) I asked the salesman when he would be going to an auction and so I went that route. You can also buy a demo car with low mileage. The salesman goes to the auction and picks out a car you have requested. I got a great deal on it doing it this way. The car was like new and I still have it (10 years now) and it purrs like a kitten with few mechanical problems.

Another good choice would be to get the vehicle at a repossessed car auction yourself and cut the middle man. Of course, you'd have to go to a public auction (there are also private repossessed auto auctions for dealers only). Even one more option would be to contact a bank yourself and ask for the list of repossessed cars they have on stock before they even resell them publicly at an auction. In both cases, any time time during an economic crisis like the one we're going through is a good time to purchase on a repossessed car, since there are plenty of them in the market.

No specific time actually if it is a used car. You can always check out cars classifieds online to find the model of car that you desire. Whether you are looking to buy from used car dealers, private sellers or business owners, you can always use this online cars classifieds to compare used car values and cars pricing to get the best car deal and the best value for your money.

Take it to the shop, and have them adjust the timing. It is a lot faster and easier for them to do it for you.

No that's called stealing.....

An action like that must be handled by the estate. If the deceased has left a will and named an executor, the executor must handle the disposal of any property. If no will was left, the courts will determine what happens to the property.

Look for an insurance company that will write a policy based on the risk you have described. Don

If she has a job making +/- $1200/month, is a college student and is a first time buyer (college student requiirement may vary from place to place), and if she has a credit card (w/good credit) helps a whole lot to purchase a NEW car. She can get a secured credit card with your bank and it shows up just like regular credit cards (no one knows it's secured), however, credit card companies love to give 18 year olds credit cards also. Great way to build a good credit standing. But if she buys a used car and pay's it off in two to three years she can use that and her good credit card credit rating and can purchase a home/condo on her own. Very cooooool. And three years later she can buy another home/condo. Even more cooooool. But if she buys a new car she will be burdened with payments for 4 to 5 to 6 years and by then the cars falling to pieces and she has to purchase a new one again because a new car is more important to her than purchasing a home/condo which is what she will never get approved for if she's $20K to $30K in debt on a new car. So I hope she is wise enough to understand what I just explained. And if you can't or won't cosign for her then maybe she hasn't got a good attitude toward money and responsibility and needs to really take to heart what I've explained above. She needs to get a vision for her life beyond the car. If you can and will cosign for her she can redo the loan down the road and establish the credit for herself but she will have to pay a higher rate so that's not always the best way but it can work out with patience. Good luck.

Ok. What about it? Made by Ford's Lincoln division.

In short, you are screwed. there is no way to reclaim money from a private seller in any state. your best bet would be a CARFAX or AUTOCHECK BEFORE

purchasing the vehicle. I know it sounds like a lot of trouble to go through, but

better 15/20 dollars now than a car broken down in the driveway with a 3k estimate for repairs.

No, because when you buy a car you should turn the lights on to be sure they all work. Lack of due diligence on your part is not their fault.

Also consider: fixing a Saab headlight costs less than 20 dollars--just change the bulb, and they sell them at all auto parts stores, Walmarts and Targets in America. Even if you got a traffic ticket for having a burned-out headlight (and most cops will give you a warning ticket for this--fix the headlight, show it to a cop and you'll be clear) you won't recover enough from the dealership to pay off the costs of filing the suit.

Yes

Until you pay the pawn man. You then need the pawn shop to cancel the lien and have it approved at the dmv.

Methinks what you want to know is why your partner hasn't included your name on the lease for the vehicle. If that's true, then you have to talk with your partner and find out what's going on. But then again, if you are not married to that partner then not having your name on the lease means that you are not legally responsible for the monthly payments and that debt. Choose wisely.

When the owner of a car signs the title, it becomes and open title, and the holder of the title is the owner of the car. When selling a vehicle, the owner should not sign the title until they have the money because if the buyer has possession of the open title and the vehicle, they can clam ownership.

YES. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=bpc&group=07001-08000&file=7500-7500.3 7500.3. A repossession agency shall not include any of the following:

(d) The legal owner of collateral which is subject to a security agreement.

It's best to make sure you have financing before you buy a car. If you plan on getting financing from somewhere other then the dealership, and you have a set amount you can spend, you won't let yourself get into a car that you can't afford and you may be able to haggle the price with the dealership more.

No they don't, but let me tell you FORD did it to me for almost a week. And unless you have the $$ to sue them, they will drag it so the Repo People get more money for storage.

Let me know when you do, I want a convertable.

Yes, you can sell a car with no spare key without telling the purchaser. It is not required by law that a used car have a spare key at the time of sale.
