[QUOTE="ron g, post: 762434, member: 13653"] this is all very dubious. why did the insurance contact you & not the authorities? has the "theft"even been reported to the police?: how did you get ownership transferred into your name? a dealer only has to refund you if it can be shown that he knew, or had reason to believe that the vehicle was stolen.i can't recall now who has the burden of proof to do so, i.e. do you have to prove he was negligent, or does he have to prove that he wasn't. however, with the finance house involvement things may be different. a threat from a finance house to stop providing finance to a dealer can work wonders. either way, ny 2c: - try to get a lawyer to go to the meeting tomorrow. some insurance lawyers are masters at getting people to accept liability when they shouldn't (i used to work in insurance). - if you cannot get a lawyer do not agree to anything at all. - do not take the car anywhere near the meeting in case they try to seize it. retain possession of the vehicle and do not give it up voluntarily.
