Bought a car, went to make usual payment, lot was empty.. need help..?

Question

I financed a car from Pristine Motors Limited in Amityville NY. I pay every month on the 4th and so yesterday I went to drop off my check and as I pulled up to the lot it was empty, the driveway had a chain on it, and the office was cleared out. I called the cell phone of the dealer and he siad that they changed lots... but there was no forwarding address anywhere and I know that most of their cars were were in horrible, unsafe conditions and many people have been very unhappy with them. I had MAJOR issues my self.

How would I go about finding out it the company went out of business, went bankrupt, or got shut down?

And if so, do I still have to pay them?

Answer 1

I WOULDNT WORRY ABOUT IT IF THEY DIDNT GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND JUST MOVED PLEASE BELIVE ME THEY WILL GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR PAYMENT.

Answer 2

Go to your local chamber of commerce and check with them, they would have the address if the business is regestered. As well, check with any car dealerships that were close by, word in the car business travels fast and somebody should know, especially if he is shaddy.

I am in the car business, here in Ontario, we have a sancitioned body that patrols the automotive sales industry called OMVIC (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) check to see if something like this exists in your state, you can file complaints and find out if he is still in business.

Look the guy up in the phone book if you have any info tat could help you with that.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

They sound pretty shoddy. Well..if they went out of business..because of complaints..i would keep the car.

Maybe find them and consider suing them yourself.
