Re: ripped off by used car dealership
No, yur contract does not become void. The car dealership -- much less the finance company -- did not total your car. However, the towing company that totaled your car would be responsible for the fair market value of the car. Since yhe accident happenned so close in time to your purchase, the value should have been the purchase price of the car -- not what was remaining on the contract.
