wtf should i do?

[TsiDan]

hey guys. ive found myself in quite the scenario today. so i currently own a 3g eclipse along with my 2g talon. the eclipse is a 2004 gts that i am financing so i can establish some sort of credit. well about 8 months ago i hit a minor bump and couldnt afford the payments along with the insurance, so i decided to sub-lease it to someone. after a month of getting to know this woman on cl i decided that she was trustworthy and could handle the payments. everything has been going smoothly, payments were made and such. today i was met by 4 detectives who informed me that my vehicle (eclipse) was spotted at several locations where cars were stolen. at first they assumed i was boosting cars .. but after explaining things with them they started putting two and two together. i described the girl whos driving the car along with her boyfriend. her boyfriend is apparently a prime suspect to the thefts and she might have been seen as an accessory. now if they are arrested and my car gets impounded the detective will notify me so i can pick the car up. now i have a contract i wrote up with her and im pretty sure i can back out of it. one of the stipulations was that she was to uphold the state minimum insurance, title, and registration requirements. well the title has my name on it.. not hers.. and the registration is also in my name. i think this is a good enough loop hole for me. do you guys think i should wait for the investigation to be pursued more before taking my car back or what? im really upset about the situation and i dont want to deal with dangerous criminals attacking me or vandalizing my car.

thanks for reading.

if she has made payments and such and you have a bill of sale/some sort of contract for the payments written up and she maintains insurance on it - I'd just keep going about pretending like you don't know anything.

She may have nothing to do with whatever is going on and is just kind of thrown into the mix a bit.

I'm sure others will say differently but I know what it's like to be in that financial situation. I'd be worried about finding another buyer.

well luckily now im making a lot more money than i was back then... more than double to be exact... i could easily afford the payments and the insurance... plus my dd just died... a 93 saturn sl1 with 198000 miles on it!... so the 3g wouldnt be a bad dd seeing as how its quite a reliable vehicle and its completely stock with 50k on it...

I would at least wait and see what pans out. If she doesn't get arrested, there's no reason not to let her keep making payments for you.

if you definitely have the money I'd take it back then.

Would be a nice DD for sure.

im just worried because she knows my address and if her bf or whatnot is stealing vehicles theres no telling what he'd do. i could wake up with dented quarter panels and broken windows in my 3g. its just stressing. im f**king 19... i shouldnt be worrying about such criminal activities while working and going to school full time..

then dont take it back unless something happens

You asked her to make the payments, she is holding up to her end of the bargan. How she makes the payments are none of your buisness. Maybe she has to get her BF to rip off cars to sell shit to make the money to pay you for the car, because she was faced with the same sort of financial situation you were in. How would you feel if the bank came and took your car away because you worked at a slaughtor house and they felt it was wrong to kill animals? You don't know if she is involved just leave it at that.

Just leave it alone. If she wanted to do something, it would have been done by now. She's been making payments lik both of you agreed. Now, if the car was used in criminal activity I would take it back but after everything is taken care of. I would be pissed if I was a cop if even by accident you informed them that the police were on to them and caused them to run.

I don't want to get my car stolen.

Honestly, if you want it back just be professional about it and inform her with somthing along the lines as this:

"I am making plans on doing a lot of repair work and motor work to my current car (say in a month). Can you make arrangements that within 4 weeks I can have the final payment and the vehicle returned in the orginal condition that you aquired it.

thanks for the input. i definitely dont want to "compromise" any sort of investigation. just keep in mind that she isnt upholding the stipulations in the contract. the only thing she's doing is making payments so its completely up to me what happens to the vehicle after this situation boils over.
