Car Selling Question


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

So I put my GMC Envoy up for sale yesterday and have had a couple of calls on it but I have a slight problem. I still owe about $5K (which I don't have to pay off right now) on it so the finance company has the title.

The problem is that the finance company is not local so I would need to have someone pay for the truck, then wait for their check to clear, then mail the finance company the payoff amount and then wait for them to mail the title so I could hand the vehicle over. Not sure who would hand over $9K to me and then wait until all that happens with nothing more than a receipt I give them saying they gave me the money for the car.

Any suggestions? Should I go to my bank (Fifth Third) and take out a personal loan to pay it off so I have the title in hand and then pay off the personal loan in a couple of weeks when I sell it (as long as there are no early payoff penalties)?

Thank You,

Is the person buying the vehicle going to pay cash?

If not, his bank/Credit Union should have no problem contacting your bank who has the title, get a payoff amount, send them a check and deal with their client and you just get a check from them for the difference.

Painless!

Tough situation to be in....You legally can't transfer a car without the title. And for the most part companies, when you pay them off, don't take longer than 2 weeks to get the title to you.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
