NYC-ES300

So, Im trying to lease an 09" is250 in FLORIDA.

My rate didn't come out to be excellent. Therefore, I'm registering this

vehicle under my father's name. And Put me as a secondary driver under his

insurance. His residency is in state of NewYork. Since, all documents have

to be sent back and forth between FL-NY . They require notarize on all lease

contract papers. Which my father failed to do so. Now, the dealer says it has

to be notarized or the deal is off! Apparently, my father is gone out of

country for 2months. Dealer has the signed contract in their hands, just It

was never notarized.

What would be my chances of getting this car tho?

Finance Manager said it won't happen.

But!!!!!!!!!

I need your opinions. Thank You all!

I'm a little confused on what you're looking for. If the finance manager says it can't happen, then you gotta wait for your father to get back in the states. Seems that you are out of luck though, sorry.

It's reasonable that they want the document to be notarized. Otherwise anyone could sign it and send it back.

There's all sorts of other problems with this, though. Are there going to be FL plates on the car? You mentioned that you're the second driver per insurance, but the reality is that you're the primary driver living 1,000 miles away from your dad with a car that isn't even registered in the state in which he lives. If I was your insurance agent, I'd probably have a few questions.

By the way, if you know where your dad is, why can't you overnight mail him the documents, have him notarize, and send back?

Good luck, but this sounds a bit messy.

Either get a hold of your dad or wait.

Overnight it to your father, have him notarized and send those docs back to you.

Exactly! Get ahold of your dad and overnight the papers to him. He can get it notarized anywhere if he presents positive ID (Passport). I've lived overseas for many years and have sold real estate while overseas. There is always a way. Just get on it.

no notarized = no deal..... only thing you can do since ur father is out of town is wait.

Just be patient bro. Youre leasing a brand new car so im sure in a couple months ull find another car and im sure they're honor their current deal.

I like the fact that the dealership is actively helping you defraud Lexus Financial. That's a huge risk for them.

well ya know... i wouldnt call it FRAUD exactly. Its called a "straw party deal". Its not so bad that its his dad. Alot of parents buy cars for their children even though they wont be paying for most of it or even driving it. It could be worse in my opinion..... but nonetheless not the most honest thing.

kalvano

I would call it fraud, and so would LFS, or any bank. It's against the law, and LFS can hold the dealer responsible for the entire amount of the loan and demand immediate repayment.

It's a straw purchase, which is fraud, and violates numerous laws. But I guess you're right, no big deal.
