Question

my father along with me and family, went to Iran.

My father worked in Embassy.

there We Bought a car, Daewoo Racer.

When we were coming back to our country, my father made deal to sell our car to an Iranian.

Half of the Payment was made to us by that Iranian...

When the other half was to be paid, to us, my father died unfortunately...

The Iranian buyer took away the car & never paid for our car...

Now I and My family are in financial crisis & we tried to take followup from our embassy in Iran, they say that the guy has sold our car to other man, & he in turn also has sold our car to someone else...

I wanted to ask how can I get my car back or the rest of the pament o our car???

the selling deal was made in 2001 & since then our embassy never replied to us seriously.

What can we do now????

Answer 1

Laws are different from country to country but I bet in Iran, the law on thief is a very serious crime. You will anyhow need someone in your embassy in Iran to assist you on this, try your father's friend in the foreign office. If it were in any other country, I would suggest you get to a lawyer in the country of dispute and have a court order, given of course the ownership of the car has not been transferred to the buyer, and or there was any purchase contract. Given you have any of these documents, having a lawyer or anyone associate with the legal system discuss the matter with the buyer should be ample to scare the **** out of the guy, because I believe in Iran they do cut off the hands of the thief..

Good luck.

Answer 2

As an heir of your father, file a collection case in Iran for the remaining amount from the buyer of the car.  In the meantime, file a special civil action of replevin to attach the car while the payment is not yet made.

Answer 3

I would forget about the car to get you out of financial trouble,its probably been used for a car bomb by now.
