YES, IF-IF-IF you can pay the loan off. The lender will have to be involved in the sale to get the paperwork done.Lenders will NOT release the title until the loan is paid in full. Dont get yourself in a mess trying to do it alone. Find out from the lender what the payoff is and then make sure you have that amount ready to give the lender when you complete the sale. Good Luck

What if creditors already are looking for it/reposession order already out for it? Can this still be done?

Likely the only way to do it is CALL the lender, get the payoff and get that amount to them NOW.They want the money more than the car.....

Only if you are the holder of the loan, or a court has ordered the surrender of the vehilce to you. As a simple lien holder, you can only block the transfer of the title and possibly recover from the sale of the vehicle.

Can a lien on car you perchused full in cash but dealer has a lien on the car still be reposessed?

If you purchased the car in full with cash then there shouldn't be a lien. Look at your paperwork to make sure it says "Paid In Full" if it does the dealer has no right to repossess a paid in full vehicle. A lien is where you are making payments for a vehicle and the vehicle is being used a collateral until the vehicle is paid off.
