If the company holding a lien on a car ceases to exist, its assets are usually bought up or inherited by another company. A lien is an asset, so the lien continues to exist and you pay the money to the new owner.

If the lien is held by one company but the car manufacturer ceases to exist, the lien stays the same.

It may be accelerated and payable from the excess proceeds of the auction held by the first lienor in foreclosure, if there is any excess. --- improve the answer: If seond lien is not a superior lien (e.g. Tax lien is superior than MGT lien), when the first lien is foreclosured the second lien will be washed out --- Not exists any more.
