Financed vehicle — What You Need to Know

The buyer is financing the purchase through a lender. The lender will hold a security interest in the vehicle until the loan is paid in full, and the title will reflect the lienholder.

Seller guidance

If you are selling as a private party offering financing (seller financing), the transaction is governed by the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Regulation Z (12 CFR Part 1026). You must provide the buyer a written disclosure of APR, finance charge, amount financed, total payments, and payment schedule. Failure to comply can expose you to civil liability.

Buyer guidance

When financing through a bank or credit union, your lender will place a lien on the title. You will not receive a clear title until the loan is paid off. Under TILA, you have the right to a written disclosure of all loan terms before signing. Review the APR and total cost of financing carefully.

Legal note (California-specific)

When a CA vehicle has an existing lien, the lienholder must release the lien before or simultaneously with the sale using REG 227. The buyer cannot receive a clean title until the loan is paid off and REG 227 is filed. A two-party payoff at escrow is recommended.

Enumclaw Financed vehicle utv printable — when to file

California requires title transfer within 10 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For financed vehicle transactions specifically, file at California DMV – Enumclaw (Visit https://www.dmv.ca.gov to find the nearest Enumclaw office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). California CA does not require notarization of the bill of sale, but the title transfer (REG 262) must be signed by both parties. Miss the 10-day window and California typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling. Bring the signed title, the completed Enumclaw bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $23.00 title transfer fee plus 7.25% sales tax on the purchase price.

Printable reminder. Whether you keep your printable as a printed two-copy paper record, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at California DMV – Enumclaw; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
