If you still owe the bank, then the bank should be listed as a lien holder on your car title. In effect, they own the car, not you. If you were using the proceeds of the sale to pay the car off, then you may be ok. Check with your bank. Otherwise, you could be violating the law by selling their collateral. They could sue you and have you charged with a crime.

Bank won't release title?

A bank won't release the title to a vehicle until it has been paid in full. This is done to prevent the vehicle from being sold while payments still remain.


If someone co-signs on a car, are they listed on the title?

No, a co-signer is not listed on the title of the car. They are responsible for the loan if the primary borrower fails to make payments, but they do not have ownership rights to the vehicle.


If you still owe a bank on a loan would you be able to transfer title to another state?

Sure. Just let the bank know where you're moving to and keep up the payments or they'll default the loan and repo the vehicle. (Repossess) That'll cause you serious credit problems and loss of vehicle that you still have to pay for. The bank will track the vehicle by the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and you'll end up with more headaches then the car is worth.


Can you explain how financing a car through a bank works?

Financing a car through a bank involves borrowing money from the bank to purchase a vehicle. The bank pays the car dealership on your behalf, and you repay the bank over time with interest. The bank holds the title of the car until the loan is fully paid off, and if you fail to make payments, the bank can repossess the vehicle.


Why is my co-signer listed on my title?

Your co-signer is listed on your title because they are legally responsible for the loan used to purchase the vehicle. This means they have a financial interest in the car and are liable for any missed payments or damages.

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 can you find out if the bank still owns your car if you never registered the car in your current state?

If you possess the title, then you own it. If you've been making the payments, you should know whether or not you've defaulted on them. If you haven't finished making the payments, the financier owns that vehicle.
