Question about selling a car I owe payments on.

I want to sell a vehicle that I owe payments on.

Lets say I get a buyer lined up. The buyer takes out a personal loan to pay me for the vehicle.

I would then pay the rest of my lien with the money the buyer gave to me.

My question is, would the bank take the money the buyer gave me as just regular money, or would it look like loan money? How can I use the money given to me? I would use it to completely pay off my vehicle, acquire the title, and then put it in the buyers name to finalize the deal.

So what I would like to know, is can I pay off the vehicle if the money I receive from the buyer is some sort of loan?

Just call the bank you have the loan with and explain the situation.

I'm in the same predicament. I'm 2 payments behind, and honestly can't afford my payments anymore. Just want to sell it for what's still owed ($9800) and be done with it.

Life has kicked my ass since moving back from Cleveland.

Ideally, I would do a triple down.

I have three cars. One of them is paid off and the other two are one lien.

In an ideal situation, I would sell my owned car for the amount I owe on my lowest financed vehicle. Then I would sell the highest financed vehicle to break even. Yes, I realize I would be temporarily carless but it would be in my best interest.

I did this a few years ago. Once we agreed on the price, I disclosed my payoff with the buyer. I met the buyer at his bank where he withdrew the funds. He had his bank wire transfer the funds to the credit union that held my loan. Had he not had the cash, a loan would have given him a check he would have given me.

After confirmation of funds received, they expedited the title to me. I had created a buyers contract with the buyer that I agreed to relinquish the title upon receipt.
Then I met the guy at his bank with the title and signed it over to him and had it notarized. Deal done. In my particular case I sold the car for more than my payoff, so my lender refunded me the difference after paying off my loan.

Have you called the bank to explain the situation?  If not, do that right now, they will typically work with you, they would rather not send the wrecker.

Put it on Craigslist, start calling any and all dealerships to see if they will buy the car, get it off you before you ruin your credit.

Why not just meet the buyer at your bank. The bank has the title and can take the payoff amount from the buyer and you and the bank sign the title and give it to the buyer. You keep the remaining money after the payoff amount

Just call your branch and make sure that they get the title to that branch.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
