You have to provide proof that you don't have a vehicle or just give them the one you have.

Another View: While you may be the "possesor" of the motor vehicle, if it has a lien against it you do not "own" in fact. Since you do not own it, you cannot dispose of it without the true owners (the creditor) permission. You are held responsible for having possession of the vehicle and knowledge of its whereabouts or the creditor has the option of filing a civil suit against you equal to the value of the unpaid loan, OR - reporting to law enforcement that have stolen the vehicle from its lawful owner and converted it to your own use.

Can you legally repossess your car with a lien on the title?

That is the only way you can repossess a vehicle. Repossession comes under the UCC which grants a lienholder the right to repossess but only if they have perfected their lien by filing it on the title. One caveate is in most states the lienholder can not repossess a vehicle that is under a mechanic's lien without first paying that lien.
