Question

I purchased a used car on Dec. 9,2013. The sale was made with the stipulation that the car would be paid for in full pending a Personal Injury suit which was

supposed to be settled in December. They are now demanding the money or that they will hold the car for me (they are saying that I night have to return the car tomorrow) until my case is settled. I put no money down but they did take my car which was thirteen years old but gave me nothing for it. My son had paid almost $400.00 the previous week to have a new radiator installed

Do I have any rights?

Answer

Look at your paperwork! If the paperwork does not spell out what to do if the case does not settle by December (you can guess, but NEVER know, when a case in NJ will resolve), the attorney (or dealership manager) drafting the paperwork is an idiot. Unless the paperwork says you return the car if not paid by a certain date, they are shit out of luck. That does not mean they have no options, it just means they have to go to court to have a judge figure out what happens if the paperwork does not spell it out.
