Bought car with money owed on it!

lolz this thread made me laugh a bit.

ur mate was wayyy too keen like they say if its too good to be true. Then simply, it is too good to be true. If you brought the thing in melb some sort of 'finance check' which costs like $40 you are protected against repossession of your vehicle. Did your mate bother paying for that? or is there such thing as that in syd?

Anyways, lesson learnt by your mate and the people who wear their heart on their sleeve.

he didn't know anything about reposession and financing issues etc.

so, if i buy a s2k from some guy for 10k, who's trying to rip me off as he's got a debt on it... andi get the finance check done, i can keep t he s2k for 10k...?!?

btw does anyone know how to print all this without mass copy-pasting into word?

no. you would likely have to pay off the debt to keep the car.
The REVS certificate only prevents repossession , your car may still be eventually repo'd thru legal proceedings.

i thought fobs would buy cars like mini coops, mazda 3s, FDs etc lol
o well..bad luck on this one.

Yeh his parents aren't loaded enough to buy him a brand new car off the lot.. either that or he doesn't get along with them.

Currently.. the story is that he hasn't yet called the guy back, cos he's scared the seller might flee for his life.

great idea to keep logs of what was discussed, when and how long the conversation lasted

or even better, put it in writing and ask for their reply to be in writing too

GET LEGAL ADVICE

i can give you a phone number of a really good lawyer that helped me out in similar situation with dealing with retarded bogans ppl lol

also a family member is a QC Lawyer in perth too, so i can get a recommendation of someone to deal with this ... either way ... find a good lawyer man

same things go for lawyers as cars too ... u get what you pay for lol

edit - it may also be worth getting your hands on a copy of the transfer of ownership papers ... provided they wer filed properly

[curtis265]

Lol had a another chat to him last night - he DID NOT have comprehensive insurance on his camry... i facepalmed so hard.

He filed a report with the police but he was rejected because i think he might n ot have explained it properly... He told me that they said it's a civil not a criminal matter, so it's not their problem.

legal advice - lawyer that knows how to deal with these cases.

wasting time on OH isn't going to solve anything, he needs to take action.

But then again I see it as your mate's fault, there's so many precautions to take when buying a car it's what happen when you don't take the right steps you could end up in a hole like your mate is.

goodluck, but spending 1 - 2k + on a lawyer isn't worth it for your situation.
back to work, save more money & then try again in a few months.
