A private party purchase clear title refers to a transaction where an individual buys a vehicle or property directly from another individual without involving a dealership or third party, ensuring that the title is free of liens or legal claims. Clear title indicates that the seller has full ownership and the right to sell the item, meaning the buyer will receive complete ownership without any outstanding debts or encumbrances attached to the asset. This process often involves verifying the title's status and transferring it properly to avoid future disputes.

The private seller holds the title until paid in full, he should transfer the title to private buyers name and place a lien on title then the title will be mailed back to the private seller and once vehicle is paid the seller signs off on the lien and mails the title to the buyer.

Yes, but not to the private party. The tax is collected by the MVD when you register and title it in your name. When you buy from a registered dealer (who handles all the MVD stuff for you) you pay it to the dealer.
There will be a lien on their title from their lender. You need a title in your name with them only as the lienholder. Unless you are paying cash, then there would be no lien on your title.
If you obtain or purchase a vehicle from a private party, you must transfer ownership within a specific time frame, which varies by state but is typically within 10 to 30 days of the purchase. This process usually involves submitting the required paperwork, such as the title and bill of sale, to your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent authority. Failing to transfer ownership in a timely manner may result in fines or complications with vehicle registration. Always check your state's regulations for the exact requirements and deadlines.
