But there is another kind of lien: hidden liens. Hidden liens don't show up on a car title because they are not from a bank or any other financial institution. Instead, you find out that hidden liens are usually tied to some sort of court-ordered obligations and the vehicle is being held as collateral.
The first step to filing a mechanics lien is to record a Notice and Claim of Lien within 60 days after the property owner has recorded a Notice of Completion. If a notice has not been recorded, however, you will have 120 days after the completion of the project to record the claim.
A payoff request allows a third party to receive the current balance due to release a lien or facilitate a business transfer (bulk sale transfer or liquor license). To release a lien or facilitate a bulk sale transfer, businesses must be in good standing to receive a payoff request.
The lienholder is responsible for filing a release of lien in Arizona. The release of lien must be filed with the Arizona County Recorder's Office in the county where the property is located.

You can sell it with the original notarized lien release stapled to the title. You'll have to talk to your buyer to see if they're good with that, they may want to retitle with the lien cleared first.
Without a vehicle title, you have no way to prove you've obtained the vehicle legally and have a right to sell it. Whenever a vehicle is sold, each buyer must fill out and sign the title properly to prove ownership. Buying or selling a vehicle without proof of ownership is illegal in most places.
The vehicle owner must hold a valid registration. All title transactions, including new, transfer, duplicate and corrected, that indicate a lien are processed in the usual manner. However, after the transaction is recorded by MVD, the lienholder is responsible for electronically maintaining the lien and title.
No more paper When you title or register a vehicle in Arizona, your title information is stored electronically and you no longer automatically receive a paper title.
