In most states a vehicle can be sold if it has a lien on it. However, if the vehicle is sold and the lien is not paid, it is a criminal offense. It is actually theft.

Without a discharge-of-lien or similar document, IN WRITING from the lienholder, yes.

Yes, but the lien holder must be notified and the outstanding balance of the loan must be paid before the title can be transferred to the new owner.

Can you sell a car to dealership if your loan was charged off and you a have a lien on the title?

At minimum, you must satisfy (pay off) the lien. Talk to a dealership---NOT the one you plan to do business with, but call a different one---they can give you information. When you go to sell the car, keep in mind the lien amount in your overall price you want for the car. Make sure you get paperwork when you pay off the lien.


Your car was impounded can you sell it to the tow company?

Well, in a sense, they sell you your car back.See, from the time your car is towed, you are assessed daily fees. In order to regain possession of your car you must pay those fees in full. If you do not reclaim your car within a certain time frame, the tow company will file for a lien on your car. They will be granted the lien and will be issued the title for the vehicle (irregardless of whether or not the car has a bank lien). They will then sell the car at auction.If you want your car, go get it...and soon. If not, you will not get a dime from the tow company for it, but they willlegally take possession of it.

Forever. But what you can do is ask for a release of lien from the dealer. Once you get a release of lien from the dealer, you go threw the normal titled process in your state to obtain a lost title.


Can they put you in jail for having a lean on your car?

No, the lender can not have you put in jail because they have a lien on you car. They can press charges against you in many states if your vehicle is up for repossession and you attempt to hide it or hinder the agency hired to secure it from recovering your car. Or, if the lender secures a replevin and you still refuse to turn over the vehicle, you will go to jail then for contempt of court.
