Anybody have any experience with a "lien packet". I do not.
My understanding is a towing/recovery company "has" a vehicle, for which there is a debt owed TO the towing company, that towing company can attach a lien ('ownership claim") TO that vehicle.
Then, subject to rules of the local jurisdiction, the towing company can sell that vehicle to satisfy the debt they are owed, and whoever the real owner is/was, they just lost their vehicle in exchange for the debt.
LSS, maybe these "lien sales" are a no-brainer. To me? feels like they could be messy and I personally don't like potential ownership messes. Never have.
Ain't a car made/existing (except my "Yeti" -
'70 A67 440 Newport ) i am willing to jump through title hoops for.
Of course, its "case-by-case". "Smooth as silk" on one end of the spectrum, to "dumpster fire" on the other end.
Again, anyone have a view/experience with these things, particularly with California, as a buyer of such a vehicle?
