Could I buy a vespa scooter before file bk?

[seamoonil]

I am scared too loose my car and how I am going to get around?

What is my chances to get a scooter? my credit score is 655.


Ps. My car situation:

What is my option?

a) Redemption?

b) Reafirmation?

c) none of the above

If you think I cannot keep the car; when do you think that I should stop paying the car? But I would lilke to use the car for at least until the whole bk is over.

I have a kia spectra 08 I bought it in april 08.

I believe I have $16000 left to pay.

I have never miss a payment($280.85 monthly.)

I bought it at car pros kia tacoma dealership

Financing with Qualstar Credit Union, WA

6.4% fix.

My income is $1000 I work part-time and I go to school full-time and I use my federal loans and my grants to help me with other bills.

(I used to survive fine until the credit cards got out of control.)

If I want to keep my car; Do you think they would let me keep my car when I got discharged.

As others have said in other threads, with $1000 in income you need to start to learn how to live frugally until you graduate. Living off of your student loans will only cause you hardship years from now.

Ultimately it is all up to you to make a final decision about what to do with your car.

I know I am starting to to accept the Idea of letting the car go...

However, should I buy something to get around? like a cheap scooter:

vespa or a honda ruckus _ http://www.walnecks.com/find/listing...uckus-93988476

They would send me to the land of no pizza if buy this before file BK right?

I wanna file in july....

what do you think?

[seamoonil]

I am about to buy that tomorrow, "oh please shot me now" make me stop...

[seamoonil]

don't you think that could be a great option buy something like a honda ruckus $2000 and stop making the payment on my car. because if I keep making the payment on my car until july: march 27($288), april 27($288), may 27($288), June27 ($288), July 27($288).

and the honda ruckus scooter: http://www.walnecks.com/find/listing...uckus-93988476

If I buy with a credit card what are the consequences?

and If I buy with my checking account cash what are the consequences?

sorry! I got excited!

It looks like you deleted the duplicate thread, so I'll answer you again here.

If you purchase the scooter using a credit card knowing that you are going to be filing for bankruptcy within a couple of months, expect trouble.

Pay cash for it as long as you can exempt the cash/ item. Check your states exemptions to be sure. ( You have to declare the cash anyway if you don't spend it)

Owning a scooter free & clear post bankruptcy would probably be best for you since your income is so low.

[seamoonil]

do you think that I could pay half in cash and finance the rest or use my credit card?

I am in Seattle-Tacoma zip 98466 area WA

how do I check the exemption?

Why would you think that using a credit card to make a large purchase and then filing bankruptcy would be ok?

You really need to sit down and talk with an attorney before you do anything else. Obviously what we have been advising you now for close to a month hasn't sunk in. (About using your credit cards while you are planning bankruptcy)

Here is a link to Washington exemptions: http://www.bankruptcyinformation.com/WA_exemp.htm

It looks like a $2000 scooter will fit in to the motor vehicle exemptions.

Please, go see an attorney. You need someone who will tell you face to face what not to do.

ok!

So if I pay with cash, and is exempt by my state; that is nothing to worry right?

[newbie2]

Go see an attorney. PLEASE. You do not need to make a decision today about buying a scooter. It looks like it will fit in the exemptions but I am NOT an attorney. Pick up the phone and call a couple of attorneys and make some appointments. Do this before you do anything else.

Another option would be to wait until 910 days after your purchase date of your car (approx Oct. 2010) to file and then cram down the value. It's probably worth closer to $10k now. I'm not really sure how a cram-down works though, maybe someone else can chime in?

You only just stopped paying your bills THIS month, so you could probably get away with not filing until Oct/Nov. without any problems.

You do NOT need to be in any rush to do ANYTHING at this point. You have plenty of time to plan and research your options.
