Yes. The note creates a lien, regardless of whether it is officially recorded on the title. If the lien is not on the title, this will merely create some extra work for the repossessor when they try to sell the car.
Not necessarily but the person with the mechanical lien will for sure sue you and hold you accountable.
No, what will happen is this: the finance company will pay off the mechanics lien (usually) and tack that on your loan balance, it would be considered a repo fee.
depending on the motor vehicle laws of your state but in the state of Arizona where i am from if you have the title in your name with no lien holder you are the rightful owner of the vehicle and nobody has authority to take it away unless you have signed a power of attorney and a title and registration application adding the finance company to your title. http://www.1stopautotitleloans.com
Yes.
I signed for someone to get a car and the person never paid it and i had to return it sobasically it was considered a repo so i got sent to collections and to court, can they put a lien on my taxes
The lien is still valid, so yes, they can repo it.
there is also no bill of sale on it.
If you don't pay for the car it has a lien on it, and can never be sold. You may not be able to get new tags for it if it is flagged.
Only if you put a lien on the title
A car dealer can hold a repo as long as he is the lien holder on the title.
(A): "Can you sue the repo man if he takes your truck after you filed bankruptcy?" (B): The answer is "No". The truck is the property of the dealer, or finance company, until your final payment to them is made, and the receiver in bankruptcy may not seize property of which title belongs to a second party (dealer or finance company).

Laws vary by state, but typically, yes. If the finance company feels the vehicle is at risk of having a lien put on it by a local or state government entity, they'll take possession of the vehicle, as the right of the government agency to recoup storage and towing costs has priority over the finance company.
