This! Or even from a timing perspective if took on trade. Takes 3-5 weeks to release PPSA. A few banks don’t. It’s a pita lol. Dealers can’t sell vehicles with liens period and are responsible. Get a letter from dealer that vehicle is clear of all liens, bring him the lien check when u close deal. Now you have recourse in a worst case scenario which is rare to say the least on a reputable dealer who would never put themselves in that situation. They have this process down pat. As far as registering goes registry doesn’t care. Only one that cares is the one financing the vehicle.
