Buying & Selling - May 2007

I've owned a '06 scion xB since Feb '07 and am making payments to Toyota Financial. I'm trying to get rid of it as fast as possible but I don't know how to do that (don't want to trade-in)? Do dealers buy cars back? or am I forced to sell privately (which I really don't want to waste the time with)? Does anyone have any tips, suggestions or options I could use?

I bought a used truck from a dealer - and I am already having trouble with it. I want to find the person who owned it before me (one owner) and ask him about any known issues there may be with the truck.

This way, I can go to MY dealer and tell him the problems with the car which is under warrenty for the next 30 days.

Smooth, eh?

Hi! A year ago when I purchased a new vehicle I put my fiance on the loan as a co-borrower to help out her credit. I am now in the process of refinancing, but she currently has no income, so she would make the rate higher now, so I am leaving her off of the new loan. The question is...... will the payoff to the current bank show on her credit report as a payoff and look as though the car was simply paid for and not refinanced? Not sure how that would look on the credit report or affect her score... any info is appreciated!

I had a loan for a van in 2002. A truck ran a stop sign and crashed into me. The van never ran good after that. I continued to keep it, and payed the $337 a month until it began having more serious issues. I had spent nearly $1000 in repairs and then the van was still having BIG problems w/ transmission.
I had kept it for over two years.
I decided to contact the loan company and have them take it back!
By that time I had paid over $8, 000 for the van.
Once they repoed it they sold it and are charging me now over $7000 for the remainder of the loan and for the towing fees and fee for auction...
I had been sending $10 a month. Now they keep calling and wanting more. It is still drawing interist!!!
A friend had told me that there is nothing they can do, just stop paying all together!
Can they garnish my wages?
Any opinions?
I would file bankruptcy but, I really hate to.
Can they really come after me for the rest of this loan?

Any suggestions?

THANKS

I have to put a deposit of $1,000 on this new car that isn't due out until October/November. I'm curious if this will go towards my down payment.

I've saved up quite a bit of money and I'm ready to put a down payment on my first vehicle.

I'm interested in a new car that has a good price, but isn't cheap! Under 13k is ideal, but I can do up to 15k.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you can provide! ;)

I'm considering a 2007 volvo lease and wish to negotiate each component of the deal to my best advantage. On setting the residual amount, is the dealer locked in to a figure that comes from the finance company or can they set a different, though reasonable, residual in order to get the deal done? I want to structure this lease with 6k miles more than standard and the dealer claims that that reduces the residual so much that buying the miles up front costs me only a few cents less per mile than buying them after the fact as an additional charge. Does the dealer have the discretion to che simply plug in a higher residual to cut this cost for me or is he truly locked in to some residual table and can't deviate from it? Thanks!

I'm looking to sell my 2001 Toyota Corolla (94000 miles). It needs new tires, and the windshield has a crack in it. I plan on selling it slightly under the KBB value for a car in "fair" condition. I haven't had any mechanical problems with the car since I've owned it.

My biggest concern is that the engine is a little loud. There is a slight rattling noise if you listen closely but mostly its just running louder than it should. Will a tune up take care of the noise? Should I even bother fixing it or just sell it as is? I'm not sure if buyers will be skeptical due to the noise or if they will understand due to the mileage.

If I owe $9900 on the rest of my lease and I want to go ahead and pay it now, can I do that without buying out the vehicle? In other words, can I prepay my lease obligation without actually committing to buy it and just drive it the remainder of the agreement and then turn it in when my lease is up?

When you trade in your old car does the other car have to be newer or a bit more expensive?
