In Orange, California, there are various types of Promissory Notes in connection with the sale of a vehicle or automobile. Some notable ones are: 1. Installment Promissory Note: This type of promissory note specifies that the buyer will make regular monthly payments towards the total purchase price of the vehicle until it is fully paid off. It includes information like the principal amount, interest rate, payment due date, and consequences of default. 2. Balloon Promissory Note: This promissory note structure involves smaller monthly payments over the term of the agreement, with a large final payment, commonly known as a "balloon payment," due at the end. It allows buyers with limited resources to afford the vehicle while enabling sellers to collect more interest over time. 3.

It ensures the seller has a security measure in case of default. 4. Unsecured Promissory Note: Unlike a secured note, an unsecured promissory note does not involve collateral. It solely relies on the buyer's promise to repay the borrowed amount. This note carries higher risk for the seller, as they have limited recourse in case of non-payment.
