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 (North Carolina-specific)

NC lienholders must release the lien within 10 days of payoff per NC Gen. Stat. § 20-58.4. The lienholder files an electronic or paper release with the NCDMV. Buyers should run a title search at the NCDMV before completing the purchase to verify the lien is released.

Financed vehicle checklist

  • Obtain pre-approval letter or lender commitment before finalizing sale price
  • Confirm lender's payoff instructions if seller has an existing lien
  • Record the new lienholder on the title at the DMV
  • Review TILA disclosure for APR, finance charge, and payment schedule
  • Retain a copy of the signed bill of sale and loan documents
  • Verify lien status at NCDMV before purchase
  • Coordinate payoff so lienholder releases within 10 days per NC Gen. Stat. § 20-58.4
  • Confirm electronic or paper release filed with NCDMV
  • Transfer title within 28 days of sale
