Seems like there is a lot that can go wrong here. The only way this works I can see is when the lien is with a bank that has a physical location so you can confirm its being paid off and get the title, and not leaving any opportunity that the buyers takes off with the cash and doesn't pay off the lien.
What happens when the lien is with a lender like Yamaha financial? Is there really any safe way to do this for the buyer?
I've bought a bunch of bikes now but never one with a lien through a private seller.
