No, the dealership cannot repossess your car for a downpayment. However, if there was a downpayment paid, and your check bounced, that's passing bad checks, which depending on the amount of the down payment, could be a felony. Read the fine print on your contract and you'll see that if the car is related to the commission of a felony, it puts you in default, which means the finance company can repossess your car. It's all in the fine print, but dealerships and finance companies are all in business to make money, and they pay people like myself very well to make sure their interests are covered. I'd suggest paying your downpayment.
Tell the dealership to give you your old car back and any money you gave them then you will give them their car back.You might want to consult an attorney.
If you have failed to make even one payment on time, even if it's late by only one day, technically they can pursue repossession.
Its all credit base and downpayment but about 400
Yes, if you bring your loan up to current, and pay any additional fines & expenses. Making your loan current requires paying all overdue or due payments on the vehicle.
Bill, it is NOT up to the dealership to get financing. YOUR CREDIT can be such that NO one can get you financed at any DP, or interest rate. READ your contract closely. It likely covers such a thing happening. A similar scene happened to a friend recently. Yes, the money should be returned b/c without financing, there is no contract. Without the contract, no "deal" has been made.Your car and all monies exchanged should be returned. In his case, the dealership sold his trade in and made more money from it than they gave him for the car. They actually had to pay him more than his car was worth in the first place,which he used for a downpayment on another car. Don't let them trick you into anything. Good Luck
Q:Can you get an apartmet with a car repo? A: All apartments come without a car repo option. Sometimes you can negotiate utilities, however
No, you can always pay cash for something that you can afford, or you can go to the auto dealerships that sell junker used cars with a ridiculously high loan interest rate. Those types plan to repo a car several times and will be all over you if you are a day late for a payment. My advice, take care of your credit history by paying off all present and outstanding loans, start over paying cash for everything and slowly re-estabilish your credit being careful to not overextend yourself.
The deal said you would pay X $ down but you havent soo, the dealer can either HOLD the car till you do OR repo it. You have NOT held up your end of the deal, right?? Do you expect the lender to just let you ride??? Be Real
