Pay off the lien or have the current owner pay it off. In some states you must wait for the title from the finance company in order to properly register and insure the vehicle.
If the lien is a purchase money lien (granted to allow you to buy the car), then no. If it is a nonpurchase money lien (you granted a lien on the car to secure an unrelated debt), then yes.
The lien holder is the person or firm, you borrowed the money from to purchase the car.
You contact the lender who has a lien on it and purchase it from them.
The lender who loaned you the money to purchase the car and to whom you make the payments.
If the car has a lien on it, that means someone else has legal right to the vehicle probably for the balance of a car loan or due to non-payment of the car loan. If you purchase the car from its owner then you will be responsible for paying the lien or the vehicle may be repossessed by the lender or seized to pay the debt. You would need to obtain a valid release of the lien and follow the appropriate steps to have the lien released if you want to acquire a clear title.
best time to think of this is BEFORE the car is purchased and before they drive away. Get a lien on the car somehow. get a key made to it after you get the lien on it. Email me if its not to late and they have the car already.
Until such time as all debts incurred for the purchase of the car are paid off
does my car have a lien?
You can only transfer a car title with a lien if the leinholder agrees to the transfer. The usual way is to pay off the loan as part of the purchase or transfer transaction, using part of the sales price for that and thus removing the lien.
