Does a Lien on a Title Prevent You from Selling Your Car?

A lien on a title can feel like an albatross around your neck when you want to get rid of a car, but all that lien really means is that there is someone that is owed money before the car can be sold. This can make it difficult to sell privately, but a business that specializes in buying cars, like The Car Depot in Birmingham can work with you and your loan provider to enable you to part with your car, pay off your loan, and, in many cases, leave with cash in your pocket.

Can a Bank Prevent You from Selling Your Car?

A bank cannot prevent you from selling a vehicle outright, they will simply demand a payoff amount. This amount may be slightly different than the remaining balance on the loan, however, you can request a payoff amount at any time and that amount will be good for 10 days.

This means you have 10 days to pay that payoff amount and then the bank will release your title to either you or your buyer. It can be a lot, but The Car Depot can help you through the entire process and keep things easy.
