Need advice from Californians regarding lien papers sale.

velora · 07-26-2009, 02:47 PM

HI There!
I live in WA bt looking for P5 to buy for my wife. I found one in San-diego on craiglist, car is clean and price is good. only thing is that guy sells it with lien papers. He said that bought it from auction, the car has clean title, and what I would get is lien papers.

My question is - what I need to know before I'll make a deal? Is any issues may arise when I'll be registering the car in WA. any additional paperwork needed??

Your input guys would be appreciated.

Shouldn't you know what you need to register a car in WA. That would help.

I have had trouble with bringing a car from Wa to Ca with a bill of sale. They didn't want me to let me register the car with an out of state bill of sale. After having to sell a clean FD (tear), I say get a title or look somewhere else.
