Hi Every1,

Looking at buying a car in NSW which has money owing on it.

I have never bought a car with money owing on it before so just wanted to clarify and confirm the process.

What I am planning to do is -

- Find out how much cash is still owing on the car

- Make out 2 cheques (One for the finance company for the amount still owing, and the other cheque for the seller for the balance so they can keep the rest).

- Go in to the finance company with the seller, give them the cheque and ensure its for them to pay off the car

- Write a receipt for the purchase (something I always do anyway)

- Do the standard rego transfer with the seller

Is there anything else that I may have missed here? Also curious how long it will take for the car to be taken off REVS (for financial interest being on it) if any1 knows.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

make sure that you keep on top of the finance company to remove the car from the encumbered

vehicle register

sometimes they forget

(cough cough GE Money)

GE money??? for a car?? really??

seriously tho, yeah looks like you have it all sorted out yourself. but as Defari says. you shouldnt have to do any of this, not really your responsibility at all. 80% of cars are owned by the banks etc, this is a very common thing

Depends whether the car is encumbered. If it's from GE Money, then it's likely that the loan is secured against the car. If iw34 pays all the money to the previous owner, he/she can go piss it up against a wall and then default on the loan. When GE comes looking for the car there's nothing stopping them taking it from the new owner and no onus on the previous owner to pay anything back.

Most cars are bought with an unsecured loan which means the lender has no claim on the car and will go after the debt holder specifically, not the vehicle with which the finance was used to purchase, however it sounds like in this case the car is encumbered.

At a guess I'd say defari doesn't actually understand the situation. Iw34 isn't paying the guys loan for him, he's paying out the remaining amount on the loan and then paying the difference to the previous owner. So a $50k car with $25k outstanding means a $25k cheque to GE and a $25k cheque to the previous owner. The car is now purchased and no longer encumbered.

you dont need to go to the finance companies office with the seller.

This is a waste of everyones time, and can be done over the phone.

At the ned of the day your not really dealing with the seller, but the finance company regarding payment.

Neither party will complain if you present a bank cheque to each of them.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
