SKCS Neutral Newbie September 1, 2018 Share September 1, 2018 (edited) Hi All, I need some advice. Recently bought a second hand car from a dealer with large sum of deposit but it has been about 2 weeks and the car ownership still haven't transfer to my name yet whereas under a finance company. He kept mentioning will transfer but did not. I suspect he took the money purchase other cars in to sell and did not redeem the vehicle with finance. What should I do now? Police and CASE been notified and he continue to list more cars to sell to others. Edited September 1, 2018 by SKCS ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic September 1, 2018 Share September 1, 2018 My take is high chance the dealer has taken the money to roll on his cash flow and probably has outstanding balance own to the bank that was not cleared. hence not able to do transfer. Do not be surprised that the bank will repossess the car if the dealer failed to fulfil the instalment. Just be informed of the worst case scenario and all the best to your case.

Just hope no pea-brained politician comes outright to say that buy car should pay full upfront and do transfer immediately to avoid such incidents..

Beanoyip Turbocharged September 5, 2018 Share September 5, 2018 How come no regulation after all these scams? Why can't a deposit be put into a trust fund which is regulated by MAS or some gov. agency? Only after the car is transferred to the new owner, then MAS will release the funds to the dealer... like that no discrepancies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger1 6th Gear September 5, 2018 Share September 5, 2018 Think the money is as good as gone liao. Head you lose, tail they win. Rule of thumb, never never trust a car dealer 100%. Deposit to me is never above 2k. If dealer not happy, I walk away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
