Only the lender can take a party off a loan. Generally, a loan must be paid off and refinanced to convert it to one person's name. If both parties are on the certificate of title, one party must voluntarily give up their title to the car by signing the title over to the other party.
If you are selling the car for enough cash to pay off the balance on the loan it is simple. Simply take the buyer with you to the lender and pay off the loan. You will get a lien release that you then take with you and the buyer to your DMV and transfer the car over to the buyer. If you are not getting enough to pay off the loan, then you have 2 choices. Ask the lender to allow the buyer to take over the payments, or pay off the loan with money from another source. You cannot sell the car without a lien release from the lender, so you must talk to the lender.
To sell a financed car privately, you will need to first determine the payoff amount of the loan. Then, you can find a buyer and negotiate a price. Once you have a buyer, you can arrange for the sale to take place at a location where the buyer can pay off the loan directly to the lender. After the loan is paid off, the lender will release the title to the buyer, completing the sale.
Take the buyer & title to the car with you to the lender that holds the lien on the vehicle. Use the money he is paying you to pay off the loan and get a lien release from the lender. Sign the car over to the buyer at the lender's place of business. Take this lien release and the title with you and the buyer to your DMV, and transfer the car into the buyer's name.

The loan must either be paid off at which point the bank sends the title slip to the "owner" or the bank agrees to transfer the loan to someone else's name (the new buyer).

Of course you would give notice to the buyer that there is a default of the car loan in effect. To not give notice to the buyer would constitute fraud. You must be able to pass clear title to the buyer. If there is a car loan in effect the lender must have possession of the title. The buyer should contact the lender for a payoff figure and to arrange to have the loan paid off in order to receive CLEAR TITLE on the vehicle. You may not receive any of the proceeds of the sale if you owe the bank as much as the price the buyer is willing to pay.
Yes, but the price would most likely be higher then average because you'd be forced to pay off the remainder of the loan and whatever the car buyer wants for it.
To successfully sell a car with a loan in Florida, you need to first pay off the remaining loan balance to obtain the car's title. Once you have the title, you can transfer ownership to the buyer and pay off the loan using the sale proceeds.

Sell it for what you owe if it is possible. Pay off the loan, get the title and sign it over to the new buyer. If you cannot get what you owe, then get as much as you can. Get a personal loan from the bank to pay of the remaining balance. The personal loan is better than the amount you owe on the car.
