Order a VIN history report and confirm the vehicle is not subject to any additional liens, judgments, or law enforcement holds. Verify the vehicle was not reported stolen (check NMVTIS).
Legal considerations
Repossession sales are governed by UCC Article 9, Part 6 (§§ 9-601 to 9-628) and state motor vehicle laws. The creditor must give the debtor and any secondary obligor reasonable authenticated notice under UCC § 9-611. A non-compliant repossession sale may expose the creditor to liability under § 9-625. Some states impose additional notice periods (e.g., California Civil Code § 2983.2 — 15 days written notice). The buyer takes title free of subordinate liens if the sale is commercially reasonable.
