    Car Wreck with auto loan lein

    Anyone looking for scrap metal? I have a car in the San Francisco peninsula area that needs a pick up. My insurance is not helping and it is wrecked very badly.

    No one can legally take it if it has a lien on it. The Lien-holder is the owner. You don't possess title (the lien holder does.) Thus you can't offer to sell it off.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I always thought the lien followed the chattel and that the new owner would be stuck paying it off.

    Just like the many car and truck leases being flogged people stupid enough to lease then finally read the fine print do not want to get stuck paying that balloon payment. I would never take over someone else's auto lease.

    Nor would I respond to someone asking to have his car disappeared as scrap guy probably take pictures of you loading and driving away with his prized gem the half an hour later on the telephone with his insurance agent. I'll pass on this one.

    When you lease an automobile versus purchasing with an auto loan, you have the right to the vehicle for a set period of time (typically 36 months), and when it’s over you can turn in the car. After resolving the lease turn in costs with the lease manager, you’ll be able to walk away with no further involvement needed.
    Balloon Payment Basics

    Before the turn in process however, you have to make payment arrangements, including whether or not your lease contract will be subject to balloon payments.

    A balloon payment is the final payment on a contract that is significantly larger than the other payments that were being made. The laws for balloon payments on leased vehicles prevents the payment amount from being larger than a total of three times your regular payments. However, that is not automatically stated in the contract, and you need to negotiate that clause or at least double check that it is present in your paperwork. It is possible that you might be able to pay more than the original balloon payment amount you agreed to in the original contract, but you will have to know the details of your agreement to be sure. A balloon payment is unique and separate from other traditional lease-end charges.
    Make a Decision on Balloon Payments While Negotiating the Contract

    Once you lock in the terms of a contract, nothing further can be negotiated. Residual value figures (the predetermined estimate of what your car will be worth upon its return) are not negotiable near the end. You will have the most power while negotiating the terms of your car lease, so if you can avoid a balloon payment, try to do so. Typically, the advantages of balloon payments are that you are able to make a smaller down payment, and initial payments will be smaller leading to the final balloon payment. This means that savvy investors are able to use the extra liquidity upfront to make wise investment decisions that will yield extra profits as opposed to being applied to a loan.

    Call your auto loan people and tell them to come pick up their car.

    Problem with removing the tags is that the lien holder is covered under your insurance policy.

    Once you have paid off your loan, the lien holder no longer has any say in your insurance coverage. If you want to drop your comprehensive and collision coverage, keeping only your liability coverage, you are free to do so. This can result in lower car insurance rates.

    If you call the auto loan place and tell them to pick up thier car, it is better than just not paying on it and having it repo'ed. It's still a bad mark but not as bad I think. My mother-in-law did this but I never heard anything else about it.
