Selling a junk car can be simple until you find out it has a lien on it. A lien means someone else usually a bank or lender still has a legal claim to the car. It can sound like a big problem but do not worry. There are ways to handle it the right way and still sell your car fast. At Cashing Carz we help car owners deal with this kind of situation every day.
What Is a Lien
A lien is a legal right a lender has on your car until you finish paying off the loan. It is their way of making sure they get paid. If your car has a lien it means the title is not fully in your name yet. You cannot legally sell the car without clearing that lien first.
Can You Sell a Junk Car with a Lien
Yes you can but there are a few steps you need to follow. The most important one is to pay off the remaining loan. Once the balance is paid the lender will release the lien and give you a clear title. Only then can you sell or junk the car freely.
In some cases Cashing Carz can still work with you to find a solution. If the amount you owe is small we can help guide you through the process so you can get rid of the car quickly and safely.
How to Check If Your Car Has a Lien
If you are not sure whether your car has a lien check your vehicle title. It will show the name of the lender if one exists. You can also contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to confirm the lien status.
What Happens After Paying Off the Lien
Once the loan is paid the lender will send you a lien release letter. Keep it with your car title. Now you have full ownership and can sell your car to anyone including Cashing Carz. From there we take care of the towing paperwork and payment.
