Why You Should Never, Ever Cosign for Anyone, Ever.

The cosigner gets all of the responsibility for a loan without any of the fun of driving the new car. Most of you are already arguing with me.  Someone cosigned for you and you repaid that debt, so you see no problem helping someone else in the future.  Just because your situation had a positive…

Consumer Rights: Buyer’s Remorse After Purchasing a Car

Question: I have buyer’s remorse.  Can I return a new car that I just bought to the dealership? Most of us have been there before.  You walk into the dealership intent on “just looking” when a saleswoman catches your delight at seeing the beautiful, shiny, brand-new car, which you immediately envision driving down I-75. The…

The dealership sold my trade-in car and took their car back. Now I don’t have a car!

I went to buy a car as a Christmas present to myself.  I traded in my old car to purchase the newer car.  I was waiting for my payment book from my new lender.  When I didn’t receive it in January, I called the lender listed on my paperwork, and they said that they didn’t…

Car-buying Myth: Three Days to Return the Car

Dear Attorney Zeigler, I am assisting my mother with purchasing a car.  I was doing some research and came across your article “How Can I protect myself when buying a used car.”   I discussed the rules mentioned in your article with my mother.  She told me that if the dealership wouldn’t let her take it to…

Car Buyer Frustrations: Dealership Won’t Give You the Title

Are you looking to purchase a used vehicle from a car dealership?  One of the most common complaints we get about used car sales is, “The dealer won’t give me my title, so I can’t register the car.” While many car sales are processed honestly without a title being present at the time of purchase,…

What “We’ll Pay Off Your Trade No Matter What You Owe” Really Means

*Insert toothy, shark-like, salesman smile.* That’s a pretty good deal they’re dangling in front of you. You have a vehicle that you still owe $10k on, and frankly, you’re tired of it; it’s breaking down, it’s too banged up, or it’s just yesterday’s news. It’s time to upgrade! Why should you pay off that loan…

The 3 Mistakes (Almost) Everyone Makes When They Buy a Used Car

Here is a typical email that I receive almost daily: I purchased a used car “as is” last month from a Buy Here Pay Here dealership.  The dealer assured me that the car only needed a tune up.  Yesterday, the car started smoking, so I took it to a mechanic.  He said it needs a…
