Yes, you can sell a vehicle that is still being financed. You will need to pay the loan company the balance of the loan with the sale proceeds in order to give the buyer a clear title. If you have to sell the car for less than you owe, you will be responsible for paying the balance out of your own pocket in order to transact a legal sale.

How do I go about trading a financed vehicle for something else?
== == You CANNOT sell or trade a vehicle that YOU don't OWN, and as long as there is a loan debt outstanding on the vehicle, YOU can't sell it, as it still belongs to the company that LOANED you the money to but it. They own it. If you pay the entire remaining balance to the lender, and get a CLEAR TITLE to it, then you can sell, or trade it to whoever you wish, but not before you pay it off, completely.
Can you still sell a vehicle if the buyer and seller both signed the title without it being on the road?
yes
Can I legally sell my car before I have paid for it?
No you can not. I would assume that whoever you have it financed through still has the title. You cannot sell the vehicle until the title is in your name. The person that you are selling it to may pay you what you want and then take over the payments if your financial institution allows it.
How do you return a financed car?
I assume by "financed" you are NOT referring to a leased vehicle but one purchased with a new-car loan. I also assume the vehicle is still pretty new and has very low miles, which is why you mentioned "returning" it. Basically, you cannot return a vehicle. It's not like buying and returning merchandise from Wal-Mart. You must sell the vehicle. The dealer from whom you purchased it might be willing to buy it back, if it's like new, or perhaps you could trade it in for a different model.
Can you sell your tv even though payments are still being made on it?
Depends on how purchased. if you used a card you owe another company but tv is paid for. If financed from place you bought it, that is security for the loan and they have a lein.
If you have a clear title on a vehicle do you have to register the vehicle before you sell it?
As long as it is titled in your name, you can sell it without it being registered.
How do you sell a personal financed car?

How do you sell a car that is still financed to a provate party?

My car is financed but is beyond repair an I need to know if I c an I sell it to a salvage company?
If your car is financed you cannot sell it to a salvage company. Even if the car is beyond repair it does not technically belong to you until you have finished paying for it. Once you pay the finance company off you can sell it to anyone you please. The salvage company won't or shouldn't purchase that vehicle without a clean title.
Who is a lien holder with a financed auto?
If the question is "who is a lien holder with a financed auto" then the answer is usually: the party who loaned the debtor the money, that is, the bank or lender. For example, if you financed a Hootieville ZX through Holeinwall Bank, then the good people at Holeinwall are the lien holders on your financed vehicle. They have the right, where allowed by law, to sell their interest in your contract to another lender or interested third party, much the way mortgage companies sell home loans like they were hot cakes on a cold winter morning. In short, the lien holder is the person who owns control of the loan (and actually the vehicle) until you pay it off or it gets repo'd and sold.
Can a car dealer resell a repossesed car in Illinois?
When cars are financed, they're usually financed by a bank or some other type of lender. Once the car is repossessed, and the person it's repossessed from fails to recover the vehicle, the vehicle is sold at auction. Dealers attend these auctions, and bid on those cars. Once they've placed a winning bid and paid for the vehicle, it's theirs to sell. Now, if a dealer is the one who financed the car, they'll be the ones to repossess it. Once they've determined the person it was repossessed from isn't recovering the vehicle, they have every right to sell it. Hate to break it to you if this was your car, but it was never yours - so long as there's a lien on that vehicle, the lien holder is the rightful owner of the vehicle. Once they've given up on you reclaiming and making further payments on that vehicle, they can do whatever they want with it - because it belongs to them, and always had, from the moment they became the lienholder.
When your car gets repossessed after 2 months of non payment can you get your down payment back?
No once it's repo'd you either have to work it out with whoever financed the vehicle to get it back or your at a total loss. And banks will sell the vehicle at an auction to the highest bidder which most likely if you just got the car will be thousands less than what you just financed it for,which you'll also owe on top of your loss.
