Best Answer

The owner cannot sell the vehicle without signing the original title. A bill of sale is not an official ownership document for any motor vehicle - only the state issue title can suffice for that. You have been duped - and need to return the vehicle to the owner and demand your money back. If they refuse, you may have a claim to stake in small claims court. Without that original title (which the owner obviously does not have) ownereship cannot be transferred to another person, especially without the lien holders signature.

The agency holding the lien is the only one who can offer this vehicle for sale as they hold the title. If the registered owner cannot provide you with that original title of ownership, then they don't own the car at all and it is not theirs to sell in the first place.

Does a mechanic's lien include a car?

In most states the person who repairs a vehicle has an artisan's lien. An artisan's lien is a possessory lien meaning that a) no recording of any document is required to obtain the lien, however b) the lien is only good while it is in your possession. If you return the vehicle to the owner you have lost your lien. If the owner takes the vehicle without your consent, your lien is not defeated, however, in most states the act of taking the vehicle from you will be considered theft by the vehicle owner.
