Selling a car with finance hanging over it is like trying to sell a house with a tenant still inside—complicated but not impossible. First, you need to find out your payout figure from the lender, which is the amount required to clear the loan. Then, when you find a buyer, the sale proceeds go directly to the lender to clear the debt. Only after that can you hand over the keys and the registration. Be upfront with buyers about the finance status to avoid any legal nightmares. And remember, this process often requires patience and a bit of paperwork gymnastics, so keep your receipts and contracts tight.
