    Only about 2700 pounds
    Decent Parts Car
    Parts sell good on eBay
    Nice Cat

    I would have given them $150.00

    Happens all the time on older cars
    repair is more then the car is worth
    So the bank does not want to waste time (money) to get it
    and the people just want it out of their yard

    I have bought a few cars that have leins on them, usually people go to the bank and get a loan / title loan on the car, then try to turn around and sell it again. As soon as i see a lein on the title i offer scrap value for the car regardless of what they are asking for it. Another trick that they are pulling is they will get a duplicate title made, then go use the original title to get a loan, so you need to make sure the title you have is the original.
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    John, you'd buy a car with a lien on it?

    I have no way of knowing if it has a lien or not
    If 10 years or older, I don't need a title
    Just some kind of proof of ownership >> Old Reg, Insurance paper
    Something with the VIN and their name or it
    They can deal with the bank if they still owe money on it

    I have done 2 I know of like this, The people were up front and showed me the paper work from the Bank saying Bank had no interest in the car because of the age and mechanical issues
    BUT they were not going to give up the title
    and as far as I know, I would think the loan still shows as an unpaid loan on their Credit

    What owners never realize is that just because they get rid of/sell their vehicle, they still owe the lien on it.

    Unless it was really old, like John stated, I wouldn't dare touch it. The lien holder could come after you and sue you for grand theft, since technically by law they own the vehicle until the debt is paid off.

    Also like john said, if they have paperwork stating that the bank had no interest in the vehicle, as a precaution, I would contact the lien holder just to ensure.

    no titles and liens make for alot of extra work, that needs to be factored in to the purchase price

    Oh, ok. Different states/different laws. Here, '97 on you need a title. The title notes the lien and release of lien.

    Same here. All titles will note if their is a lien or not. My yard personally doesn't care. Heck cars I got in the past came from foreclosed properties. No titles. Just put the vin down with some name to it, and they honestly dont care.

    However, if I am getting it from an actual individual, and not foreclosure, they will definitely need to show me something that proves they own the vehicle.

    That would be a double header for the cops 1 selling and 1 receiving a stolen car.
    I have turned down lots of cheap and even free vehicles with liens that I was sure would not have been traced, but taking that chance is not worth a little cash.
    I Like what rights I still have and once you have a criminal record of any type those rights are reduced.

    On my bill of Sale (State BMV form) I do the following if they want to sell a vehicle but the title is lost:
    1. Write down something to the effect of: I the seller on this bill of sale swear that I am the legal owner of said vehicle, I affirm that there are no liens on the vehicle and that I have the right to sell/dispose of this vehicle. I also am releasing the buyer on this Bill of sale of any liability for the use and/or disposal of said vehicle
    2. I make them give me their drivers license, I write down the # and have that on the Bill of Sale
    3. I then have them sign and print their name and date it (The Handwritten part)
    4. This is in addition to them signing the form part above as the owner!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I know this post is a little old, but quick question. You seem to know your stuff. On a house the lein transfers to the buyer since a house and a car are both real property is a car different?

    Veryoldguy: A Car is considered Personal Property.. thus has different rules governing it.

    If it has a lien on it then you will not have a title to staple to anything. The bank or credit union has the title. And if your taking it to the yard to be crushed then your an accomplice with the yard to dispose of stolen property,,,

    in Missouri you get your title back lien or no lien, this started a few years back, all my buyer cares about is a title that is signed by owner of the vehicle, I have hauled in several for owners they sign title and I deliver to scrap yard.

    That is what I kind of thought. I think the confusion is over the type of lien.
    A lien for the property is different than a lien against the property.

    Don't you sign a slip at the yard saying the property is yours to dispose of? How can you sign that if it's not yours it's the bank's?
