I have an old Blazer that I’ve put more money in than I’ve paid for it. I’m over it at this point and I owe another $1400 in repairs. If I choose not to pick the truck up and block the shop’s number, what will realistically happen? Not trying to be edgy.
I would call the shop and let them know you are no longer invested in the vehicle and offer to sign over the title in lieu of payment. This will save them the trouble of placing a lien on the title and possibly suing you.
Your other, more responsible option is to pay the man and sell it yourself. That will save you the trouble of having a lien on your credit report and getting sued for what they couldn’t recoup from the sale of your car to the scrap yard for the price of scrap metal.
