Buying & Selling - April 2007

To make a long story short two years ago I sold a Ford Ranger to a coworker whose vehicle broke down. He agreed to pay me $7,000.00 for the vehicle. The payments came the way they were supposed to for the first year. Then he started missing payments, and when I would threaten to take the truck back then he would pay me the money he owed for that month. Well back in October he asked me sign over the title so "he could get a loan for the rest of the money he owed me.” I was not stupid so I said no, and I have not heard from him since. He has moved away to a local town with my truck. I have not received any money from him since October. My question is what can I do to get my truck back? I do not know the exact address to where he is, but I do know my truck. Is there anything I can do legally to get my truck back? A law enforcement officer told me that it is a civil matter, and they cannot help me. So who can?

My girlfriend and bought a home together, about 3 years ago, and now an investment opportunity came up. I own my car, without any loan or lien. I don’t want to refinance my home, but to sell my car to my girlfriend. We lived at the same address for 3 years, and she was approved on her own loan to buy my car, and then would give me the money for the investment opportunity. What I want to know, is there anything the bank can do to stop the loan going through if she buying the car from me?

I have a 2000 Ford Focus who is in need of $1200.00 in repairs, every time I turn around there is something wrong with it.
In the 7 years I've had the car I had the mouth of the motor repaired, a new transmission and many other repairs, and now the struts, suspension and stabilizer link are in need of repair. The majority of the 2000 Ford Focus were lemons, I had 2 relatives who's Focus's left them on the street, so far after all the repairs on mine, it's still running. I have been approved for a car loan, but now that I see the prices and how much I will pay for a new car, I'm not sure what to do. My place of employment will be moving farther away, meaning more driving. Should I stay with my old car or buy a new? Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Hi y'all. My fiance wrecked my kitted out Mitsu Galant and all I had was liability coverage. We are expecting a child in less than two months and no way around. My credit is screwed due to a divorce but he's trying to buy me a car for wrecking mine so we can have transportation. I have drove all around NC(in a borrowed car) looking for help. The only place that will help us is J.D. Byrider but I'm reading that they are a bad place to do business with. Someone HELP!!!!!

What is the best Japanese, or European car within the price range of $4000-5000? I don't wanna go for an American car because you don't get as much mileage out of it as you get out of Japanese cars. Plus, i don't wanna be visiting auto repairs all the time by getting an american car. Any suggestion?? Thanks

Right now he has a pickup truck and we need to get rid of it. He is 6"6' and needs to fit comfortably. I want it to be 4-door and be good on gas milage. Yes we (he) will test drive cars, but curious if anyone has good recommendations? It can be either a sedan OR small SUV. No mini-vans or station wagon looking automobiles! Also, probably under $30,000 approximately and new - not used. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a job with a weekly hour-average, which has left me barely working and unable to save up for a car. I don't have credit, I'm only 19, and I can't find a new job unless I have a car to get there. What is the best way to go about getting a car through loans/credit cards?

I have an early 1964 1/2. I am not sure of the code, but I know it was early because it has the 260 V8 which was only an option in the early production of 64. It has A/C. I have the upholstry and am going to re do it soon. The top is fairly new. The body is straight and in good condition. Bondo on both rear quarter panels which I have considered getting fixed. The paint is Poppy Red and looks great when the car is cleaned up. I keep it in my garage and drive it maybe once or twice a week to the grocery store about 10 miles round trip. Needs new shocks and suspension work. Dash is intact. It was a show car about 17 years ago, but has definetly seen better days.

How many convertibles where made for the 1964 1/2 model?

Some idiot the other day offered me $3000 and told me I would never get more than that. I told him there was no way I would sell him the car for under $10,000.

Last Friday I applied for a loan for a new vehicle. The dealership told me I was approved, took the deposit check and told me I would have to wait until Monday to sign the papers, but i could go ahead and take the car. So I had it all weekend. I went Monday to sign the papers and all of a sudden we were not approved anymore. This happens to me all the time!! How legal is this? Can I do anything about it or do we just have to lay down and keep taking it? I would really like serious answers to this...I already feel like a big enough dummy without adding more insult to injury.

Since my husband posted this earlier and decided to make this into a huge deal i thought i would post this and tell my side of the story!
Firstly, we are in a huge amount of debt and can only just afford to live.
Secondly, The skyline was bought on credit that we couldnt afford in the first place and i only agreed to it cause it was his dream and he has a nasty habit of mowing me down till i give in.
Thirdly, we have just had a baby, only 6 months ago so i think theres more important things to be worrying about and
Finally, I am learning to drive myself and we cant afford two cars and we cant afford for me to be insured on a skyline!!!!!and now to top the lot, someone has bought a skyline in our town and every time he sees it he gets angry and goes in a bad mood and basically makes my life a living hell cause deep down he blames me!

Hello All!
I was hoping you could resolve a little disagreement for me. I own a 1971 ford LTD. It has a 351 engine and needs a paint job and new carborater. All of the crome has been taken off and is stored in the trunk. It is a two door with black interior, the orignial color is mint green. Its a great project car that would take minimum effort to refinish. My dad thinks its worth about $2500 to $2200, I disagree. What would you guys pay for a car like this??? I want it out of my life but its not selling at my dads price.

I will be selling my car when it comes back from the shop next week. I still owe $2200 and I am trying to decide if I should pay it off now to get the clear title or should I just wait until the car sells. I plan on selling it myself at a discounted rate, so hopefully it will sell quickly. My finance company said that it will take 10 days to get the clear title sent to me or the new buyer. Any opinions or does it even matter?
