Loan payoff — What You Need to Know
The buyer is paying off the seller's outstanding auto loan as all or part of the purchase price. The transaction includes coordinating directly with the seller's lender to release the title.
Seller guidance
Request a formal payoff letter from your lender with the exact amount due and the payoff good-through date. Provide your lender's payoff mailing address and instructions to the buyer. Do not accept buyer funds before ensuring a clean mechanism for the lender to release the title — your lender will not release the lien until full payment is confirmed.
Buyer guidance
Pay the lender directly whenever possible to eliminate the risk of the seller pocketing funds. Confirm the lien release timeline with the lender: typically 10–30 days after payoff. Do not register the vehicle in your name until you have the clear title in hand.
Legal note
UCC § 9-513 requires a secured party (lender) to send a termination statement within 20 days of a written demand after the debt is satisfied, or within 20 days of the debt being satisfied if no demand is made and no further commitment exists. State motor vehicle codes impose similar obligations — e.g., California Vehicle Code § 5753 requires lienholders to release within 30 days. Failure to release can expose the lender to statutory damages.
