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.
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?
