Dealing with a lein on a vehicle.
Hi all,
Long time reader & hopefully you can help me out.
I live in Toronto, Canada and i'm looking to purchase a G in the U.S. Now I've gone through all the details with the other party and the car is great but it does have a lien on it. Now I've been researching the whole lien process but can't find a definitive explanation on how the owner pays the lien and allows the title to be transfered to the buyer.
Has anyone encountered this while importing a car to Canada?
Anyone know of what to do?
Thanks in advance for you help

You need to talk to the lender and get a payoff amount. You or your bank will send that amount to the sellers bank. If the payoff is less than the negotiated sale price, you will write a check for the balance to the seller. You should also request the lien release be sent to you at the request of the seller. The seller will sign over the title to you when you give him the check for his balance.

When I was gonna sell my last car the bank told me that they would sent the title directly to the new owner titled in his or hers name. But my deal fell through so I just traded it in for my G.

When I paid off the loan, the bank sent me the title. The tile has the bank name on it as a lien and the bank stamped on the title to verify that the loan was paid and they released the title.

Thanks guys
speedracerg37 makes the most sense to me since it seems pretty straight forward. I will contact the seller and see if this process can work.
Thanks again, hope to post pictures soon if i end up grabbing it

I think this might not be true in PA unless they just change the law. I used to do a small finance on a car in order to get the additional financing cash bonus. I didn't get the tile. The bank has the title.

In transactions involving private parties, I would make sure that you get your bank or credit union involved as well as the seller's leinholder (bank or credit union). Negotiate the purchase price and make sure the title will be transferred to your leinholder (or you if paid without a loan) upon payment.
