Question

On March 1, Green went to Easy Car Sales to buy a car. Green spoke to a salesperson and agreed to buy a car that Easy had in its showroom. On March 5, Green made a $500 down payment and signed a security agreement to secure the payment of the balance of the purchase price. On March 10, Green picked up the car. On March 15, Easy filed the security agreement. On what date did Easy’s security interest attach?
a. March 1.
b. March 5.
c. March 10.
d. March 15

Answer 1

Answer:

C: March 10

Explanation:

In this scenario he signed the security agreement on the 5th of March, picked up the car on the 10th of March, and filed the security agreement on the 15th of March.

Even though he signed the agreement on the 5th of March (which would be believed is the day that the security interest is attached), he only took it into his possession on the 10th. Only once you take the car into your possession does the security interest attach, since it is no longer in the possession of the car dealer.
