Question about buying a car with Lien title

Find another truck.

 

Yes and no.

Yes, remaining balance is a lien.

No, remaining balance is not the only lien.

 

Well said! That is why I said to run.

 

THANKS VERY HELPFUL!

 

SORRY I THOUGHT LIEN WAS THE SAME AS LOAN. HE HAS A LOAN ONLY DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

I don't know what your financial stuation is that you have such a hard-on for this truck, but on the deal...

.. and if you wanna go down the toilet.



Why fuckin' bother? We build them every day.

 

Do you know if tere are any fees i have to pay since he didnt reg. the car for 2 years?

 

Yes.

2 years worth of registration plus fees.
Then add title transfer plus the 2013 registration.

Seller is liable for smog check... smog place will require current registration to process it.
No tags, no smog, no sale.

 

There are definintely going to be fees from the DMV. The reason he never registered it was pry because he paid no sales tax in oregon when he bought the vehicle. CA will make you pay that sales tax. Plus if its known the vehicle was in CA and not registered for 2 years they can charge you up the wazoo. I was late 3 days and they charged me 100 bucks.

Like some have said, make him register it in CA then go to the bank and pay the bank and get the title. Otherwise find another truck. There are plenty this one can't be that awesome.

 

2007 and over 7500 miles covers that.
All California cares about now is that it has all of it's Federal equipment and passes Fed standards.



And their money.


No registration, no smog.
No smog, no title.

Seller will likely try to get the buyer to take care of smog.
Don't do it. I've been fucked HARD accepting that responsibility.
