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 (South Dakota-specific)

SD requires the lienholder to release the lien before title transfer. The lienholder provides a written release. Transfer title within 45 days.
