    From the legal side you as the buyer are exempt from the loan of your trade in. The finance company has ZERO legal standing to go after you for a prior loan if the trade in paid off the loan. The financial obligation of your trade in balance is now on the dealership. Any lender who threatens legal action against you will be ruled against in the court of law as you have all proper documents of the transaction and proof the dealership made a legally binding agreement with you and your lender to pay off the balance of your trade in.

      @@Lenora-h2y It's not 'privilege', some of us spend differently than others. Some turn right around only to buy precooked crap at a fast food dive. Anything other than buying a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon and loaf of bread. I see cars lined up around those buildings early in the morning waiting to buy a sausage biscuit rather than cook or have a bowl of cereal or oatmeal. Then rather than making a salad for lunch buy more junk food and again at dinner. Gawd forbid I leave out the cups of coffee or gd latte, all of that on top of a car that you really can't afford. Add that crap up for 5 days then get back to me. You have more money than you realize which could have gone into savings for a damned used car. Personally, when I stopped working I traded BMW for a Fiat demo with 5500 miles on it and gave the dealership a check. When I drove off the lot I was smiling because the cost of gas just went down rather than paying for premium I buy cheapy gas, insurance dropped like a rock and maintenance dropped. It pays to live within your means.

      Probably the sales slip on the new one might include the info, but most people don't actually look at contracts, etc. Plus, the money is probably long gone. Do you own financing on the car, you can probably go to the same bank you have, and do the paperwork and save the $ the dealership would get too. The dealership is SELLING you a loan! They might also point out any funny stuff in the sales agreement.

      @diapernh That’s not how it works at all, but thanks for playing. Once the dealership took the car as trade in, they took on the loan. Every court in the country will rule in favor of the customer. The lender needs to go after the dealership. This is VERY simple stuff. The lender doesn’t just get to go after anyone they want just because they want their money, they have to go after the party responsible.
      What happened here is the dealer agreed to take on the loan with the customer, but of course never submitted the paperwork to do so because they knew they were going to pull this scam. The customer simply needs to show their paperwork from the dealership to prove they traded it in and they will be off the hook.

    If they have not paid the vehicle off, then tell the police you want your other car back. You are still liable for it and likely can be sued yourself for the balance. Get it back and find a reputable dealership to purchase it that will issue a cashiers check to the finance company or will wire them the money directly. If they don't, then keep the car and make the payments.
    Also, reach out to mitsubishi about what is going on. The dealership is just a consignment lot anyways, so maybe they can issue some kind of letter saying that the vehicle on the trade-in paperwork was supposed to have been paid by the dealership, and since it wasn't, the owner has every right to go get their car.

    Wait, I thought if you trade a vehicle you owe on, that amount rolls over to the new loan. So you’re still paying for two vehicles essentially. It’s your responsibility not the dealership..unless of course this particular dealership said they’ll pay off your current loan and get you in a new vehicle.

      @nexuzx3052 18 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

      I believe that only would be in negative equity situations. Where the amount you owe is worth more than the vehicle itself. But say the vehicle is worth more than whatever you owe. Then the dealership would pay off whatever you owe and apply the rest to your trade in. At least that's how I think it works, I've only had 1 vehicle that had a loan and decided to pay it off early cause loans suck and my next car i bought was cash.

      @harp_for_mayor the bank would definitely go after them, so what if they put insurance back on it and declare it stolen? That would at least get the police involved. Also, most banks would force you to have the vehicle insured while on the loan, and it does break the loan if the insurance is removed. I mean there are no clear cut ways to resolve this issue. They need to go after the owner as a group to cut down on costs.

The loan company for the car you traded in and wasn't paid for is not going to care that you traded that car off and the Dealership didn't pay it off. The contract you signed was with them-they don't have a contract with your new car dealership. This now closed Dealership will be sued and by the time these people will see any money if ever will be years. You can bet this Dealership owes a bunch of money to its vendors and employees.
