Question about buying a used car


TNPanther

Recommended Posts

This week I found a used car on Craigslist that I really like. The price looks good and the car seems well taken care of. However there is one small problem.

The seller says his credit union still has a lien on the car because he hasn't finished paying off his car note. So basically the bank possesses the title, and I will be paying the bank the remainder of what's owed on the car. He claims that once the remainder of the loan is paid off, the bank will electronically forward me the title. He also says the bank is willing to give me a notarized bill of sale.

Is this normal or sketchy? I am almost tempted to say forget it and walk away.

It's normal when going through a local credit union...just make sure you sign the paperwork at the credit union with both parties in front of a notary.

This. Any transaction without full understanding and agreement should not be done. If the CU is not involved formally run away. I would personally not bother and move on but if it's a sweet deal and the price is right i understand the predicament.

Don't do it. I wouldn't assume his loan unless you go into the bank and they agree to transfer everything to your name. Otherwise get your own loan and meet him at his bank to pay off his loan and the title will be reissued to your bank and once you pay it off they will sign off on the title and hand it to you. Craigslist is full of scammers, proceed with extreme caution.

I ended up going through his bank and bought the car. They gave me a notarized bill of sale and letter guaranteeing the physical delivery of the title with a notary stamp. The title is registered to me through the state of GA; they just have to mail me a physical copy.

The car is an 08 Acura TL Type S with the rare 6-speed manual, and it was a pretty good deal, so I am definitely excited. Thanks for the advice everyone.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
