IMO once you've defaulted and it's repossessed, that's the end. No money upon sale back to the loan holder at all. I'll be pleased if I'm wrong. Good luck and be strong, I know it's a hard time for you. :( Pete :cheers:

Maybe she will sell it. Probably end up in Isaan somewhere

if you stop paying it will be reposesed (spelling) after about 3 months ,thats where the fun starts is there a garantor , if so they will get a few calls and letters ,yhis will put pressure on you ex wife to clear the debt otherwise both will be black listed now if they both cant pay the arrears its snatched back by the finance company and auctioned off ,with them both having defaults registered on it ,if you want to take over the car you simply approach the finance company and say you will clear the arrears as long as its transfered to you ,
