My brother went online to look for a car loan since he has bad credit. A car dealer in Mahwah New Jersey (we are in New York) responded and told him to "come on in" SO he went in, they took his trade with a quoted value of 2K. Then they gave him a 2006 Nissan Sentra and stated he had the loan for the car. They had a 10 day temporary registration on it and let that lapse stating they were still trying to register it? Until they finally got that and then the REPOSSES the car stating they couldn't get the loan to go through << Mind you this was WITHOUT warning! ANd now they will not return his trade or compensate him for the quoted value on the trade Now they WON"T RETURN HIS CALLS! I am guessing a lawyer is in order??... but would LOVE to hear what everyopne has to say! :)

It would seem that since it was part of the original deal your brother should get his car back---- or equal compensation since it may already be sold. Contact a lawyer as these car dealers are usually pretty shady characters and will not concede unless forced to.

Best thig to do is get an attorney - they have no right to keep the trade in . It wasn't your fault that the loan wasn't approved. I would also write the better business bureau and
let the local action news know about a shady dealing dealer

It will vary from State to state, It depends on what paper work was signed, If it was used as a non refundable down payment. Your bro might be out of luck.
I would contact Your States Attorney in both your state and theirs!!
Do it ASAP!
