A bank account would not be subject to seizure. The winning plaintiff could file an Abstract of Judgment with the county recorder's office in the county where the defendant resides. Such a judgment can only be used as a lien against real property. Florida allows unlimited homestead exemption. therefore depending on the specific circumstances, a lien could be "lifted" by a joint property owner or in some other way be declared invalid.

The question of whether or not an out of state court can issue a judgment against you if you live in another state involves where you established the debt. Florida does not recognize a number of unlicensed "Fly by night" brokers or workers who establish debts in Florida and sue for money in other states. Florida will not recognize such law suits and judgments. Florida only recognizes people licensed to work in Florida. In fact, many of such con men fill Florida's prisons. Florida is glad when they go back to New York. However, if you purchased a legitimate product or did something else to cause a lawsuit in New York and the lawsuit occurred in New York and which causes New York to have jurisdiction, it does not matter if you are a resident of Florida, yes, it is valid.

Can an individual place a lien on my car if it is paid for and I own it outright?

No. Only a court can issue a lien. You would need to sue the car owner in court for a debt and win a judgment. The court could then issue a judgment lien and the sheriff could seize the car to pay your debt. A judgment lien could also be used to take any other personal property to satisfy the lien and it could be recorded in the land records if the defendant owns real estate. In that case, the property could not be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid.
