If someone has a civil judgment against you, it is possible that your assets may be ats risk. However, the laws of most states also protect a portion of your assets. The types an amounts of property that you can protect from a judgment creditor will vary be state. However, it is usually not very cost effective for a judgment creditor to go after the debtor's car. Having a civil judgment on your credit history will make it more difficult for you to get a car loan. It will be difficult, but not impossible.

No, but you must first secure the permission of the agency that holds the official title for that vehicle.

What usually happens is that the prospective buyer will have to secure their own financing in order to purchase the car from the title holder. If paying cash, they will pay the lending institution, not you.
