You must contact the lender. They hold legal rights to the vehicle. Selling it without their approval will get you into some financial trouble. Call the lender.
If he pays off the lien yes. If not, then that vehicle is pretty much owned by the lien holder too! it doesnt make sense selling car
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.
Legally No. How can you sell something you do not own. As long as there is a lien, you do not own the vehicle outright. Go see the lender and get a lien release, if you no longer have a loan on the vehicle. Remember the lender is part owner of the vehicle until you make that last payment. If you clear the lien buy using the proceeds from the sale, you can guarantee a title within 30 days (required by law) to the new buyer. The lien holder will then release the title.
In short, yes. You just have to sign a legal agreement that the person that currently owns the car is willing to put up the title of the car as collateral for the private loan. Make sure the person who has the loan possesses the title and has filed a lien with the Department of Motor Vehicles. *Always consult an attorney for legal matters.

Repossession occurs when the borrower fails to make payments on a loan secured by a vehicle. If "the bank" is not the lien holder then it has no authority to take possession of the car by repossession. However, if a bank obtains a judgment lien against you in court for a different debt, it can use the judgment lien to seize your car, or any other property, to satisfy the judgment.Repossession occurs when the borrower fails to make payments on a loan secured by a vehicle.

If the dealer holds the lien and is the one that loaned you the money to purchase the vehicle he can repossess the vehicle if you fail to make your payments on time. Otherwise the selling dealer has no claim on the vehicle whatsoever.
Only if you put a lien on the title
None, unless the person who is named on the title chooses to make an agreement with the lender to refinance the car in their name. A title which has a lien against it does not confer ownership to the title holder. The vehicle belongs to the lender/lien holder until the loan agreement is paid.
It depends on if you have a lien placed on your vehicle (by you lender. If you own the car free and clear, you can take the insurance money and not repair the car, but if there is a lien on your vehicle more often than not the insurance company will make the check out to you and your bank.
The person the lien is against is still obliged to make the payments. If they fail, a lawsuit can be filed.
The car belongs to the person listed as the owner on the title. Listing someone as the lien holder does not make them the owner.You can't transfer a motor vehicle when you know there's a lien on it. The lien would be reflected on the title and a prudent buyer wouldn't take title that is encumbered by a lien.
