Title/insurance question
Basically, I'm asking this question for my Mom lol.
She has a car that has a lien on it still. She wants to sell it. My Dad (her ex-husband lol), wants to buy it. My Dad isn't able to get a loan or pay for the car in full, to get a clear title. So he wants to give her a down payment (the difference between the lien and the value of the car) and then take over the payments. Now my question is, can the title be transferred into his name if there is still a lien on it? And if not, can he at least insure it in his name, if the title is still in my Mom's name, and he gives her the monthly payments? I'd appreciate any help. |

Only if he can get approved by the current financing bank. Otherwise, she should just trade the vehicle in on a new Camaro and eithe rpay the negative equity up front to keep the payments lower or just roll it in if she can afford it.
Tough situation...

The title cannot be transferred if it has a lien on it. They may be able to add his name to the title with her name, but it would have to be approved by the bank. He cannot insure it unless his name is on the title. If he added it to his policy and has a claim once they determine his name is not on the title they can deny the claim as he would not have any ownership interest in the vehicle. I work for an insurance company and I have seen this come up many times.

Thanks for the help guys. Guess I'll have to look into it more and call the financing company.
