Tax on purchasing a vehicle?


Well, you need to tell the adjuster, I'm sorry, I don't have $3,000. You can move the car, or you can write it off, but I can't get the title for you. Here's the telephone number and contact name at the bank, talk to them.

My guess is, the bank will continue to not release the title, State Farm will not be able to get the car out of the impound lot, so the fees are going to keep accruing, until the city attempts to repo the car.

In the battle between you and State Farm, bet on State Farm!

If my NJ Drivers License is suspended. Can I get a license in any other state...?

You have a major problem. You are the titled owner of the car until you sign it over to Statefarm (which you are required to do). That means you are responsible for all the storage fees that are accruing.
You need to call your lienholder and speak to them ASAP. Explain your situation, see if they will allow for release of the vehicle. Depending on the state, you may not even need the lienholder to approve it. This is in EVERYONE'S best interest. Once the vehicle is released, Statefarm can move it out and to one of their yards while everything gets resolved.

Other than AAA motor club are there other good motor clubs out there that are nationwide?

You'll either have to pay the $3000 or at least arrange something with the lienholder ASAP.

All about GAP insurance?


State Farm doesn't care about your distress or your situation or whether you wake up paralyzed tomorrow. They don't even care enough to wish anything bad on you. They just don't care one way or the other.

What small cars are in a low insurance group?

You over-financed, didn't you? How did that happen? Did you have an amount owing on a trade-in? Did you do a loan consolidation adding unsecured amounts to the original loan? All you can do is negotiate with the bank, because that $3,000 will have to be paid, or perhaps you have someone in the family that can help you out with a loan, again you will have to repay it.

Third party insurance offers?

Just like another person answered, State Farm doesn't give one rats-@ss about your problems or you. However, don't give up all hope yet. One thing on your side is the fact that the Farm has a very good track record of honest and fair claims practices. My advice is to contact the claims adjuster, (even his/her manager if need be) and ask for options. One thing you can count on -- you WILL have to pay the difference. Just keep a cool head and for heavens sake do NOT get combative. These guys do not play around with their money and they have an army of lawyers on staff that will squash you like a bug if you push them.
