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 (Utah-specific)

UT requires the lienholder to release the lien before title transfer. The DMV records liens electronically. Transfer title within 30 days.

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
  • Obtain lien release from lienholder after payoff
  • Submit lien release at UT DMV
  • Transfer title within 30 days
