Lien titles can be from a number of sources. Generally, the cars are purchased from tow yards and a lien obtained by the tow yard, in this example. The purchaser then has to go to the DMV and pay all late fees and such on the vehicle. It can be a real pain in the butt. If you are a AAA member, it would be easier to get the registration taken care of through their office. However, as they say, "Buyer beware." There could be a lot going on behind the scene that you don't know about.
