Yes. Be sure the buyer knows that the title is not free and clear. When they pay you, pay off the loan, wait for the title, and sign it over to the buyer. Don't hand over the keys until they have the title. You can give them a bill of sale as a receipt that they paid, but that is all they get until the title arrives. You are liable for their injury if they get into an accident before you sign the title over to them.

You will have to pay off the loan or have the loan assumed. You wont be able to sign over the title since the loan company holds it until you have paid off the loan.

If the loan was a personal loan you have the right to sell the vehicle whenever you like however you will still need to make payments or settle the outstanding balance. If the loan was secured against the vehicle you will nedd to arrange with the finance company to settle the balance before tittle is handed over.

You cant. The loan in your name must be paid off by you. So if you plan to make any money off your car you will want to sell it for more then what is still owed.


What if you sell the car and you have a title loan out on it?

That's illegal. Technically, if you 'borrow' money against your vehicle, the car becomes the property of the loan company until you've repaid the loan. If you sell the car before the loan is repaid, you're likely to land yourself in court !

Until the car is paid for, the company that made the loan still has a financial interest in that car for the amount that is still owed.

If that does not generate sufficent funds to pay the loan balance, they may make a claim against the estate of the debtor.


Do I inherit a debt if the car I bought had a lien on it?

It is illegal to sell a car with a lien on it. If it has a lien you will not be able to register the car in your name. The loan must be paid off and the lien released before you can actually own the car. You may have just got scammed.


How do you sell a upside down car?

If you mean you still owe money on the car you don't sell it unless you can take the money and pay off the loan. The bank really owns your car and the pink slip, so if you sell it without the loan getting paid you still owe the money to the bank.


How can I get the title of a car I want ot purchase from a private seller when they have not paid off the car loan yet?

You will not be able to get the title to a car that still has a loan. The seller will need to pay off the loan before you would be able to get the title. A car title indicates the car is wholly owned by that person. If an individual is trying to sell a car they do not own outright, personally I would run, not walk, away. I would also wonder how many other times they have 'sold' the car???? Wait, lots of people sell cars without having paid off their loan. You have to meet the person at the bank holding the title and make everything happen. this is not that uncommon.
