  1. The person with the lean has first ownership and would need to be contacted before the seller can sell the car and get a clearence for the sell. They most likely want to be paid upfront before the sell.


  2. If it has a lien on it I don't think you can.

  3. look somewhere else for a different car and only one that has a clear title.

  4. Find out from the bank the total due to remove the lien, called a pay-off balance, pay it.(directly to the bank)

    If the lien is not paid off, the car maybe considered stolen, and the plate will not be issued for this vehicle, or cancelled by the Secretary of State (DMV) at any time .
