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.

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. :evilish:

Hi skcs i suspect you also in the scam . To warn all . Never put deposit of any sum until car is transfer. MI destino was closed due to efforts by victims and i am one of them. The perperator clearly know the loopholes and knowledge of the law. Ic goes by name shanmugan anawi and stay bendemeer area. I suspect he use another name to register a company and carry on his scam. All do be warned. Any victims can contact me 90394959 msg me first in case. I am implicated by him in a case so i still will refer you to the group for help

The lawyer told me : you can sue, you can win ... But they guy just have to declare bankruptcy... Then I'll get nothing and have to foot the court fees some more!

well at least you would have made the dealer go bankrupt over a small sum of $ should they choose to

 

can cause some inconvenience and pain rather than let them jiak your 20k easily

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..

 

(sounds like something they might blurt out - no? :XD: )

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

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.

Just last week was at sin ming LTA to renew coe and road tax (pay full cash). Witnessed a commotion ppl shouted at the counter officer why ownership not transferred blah blah. Seems like a regular occurance there. Caveat emptor.
