If you don't have a title in hand you'll have to process the lien release before you can sell it.
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.
Involuntary Lien: An involuntary lien is placed on your vehicle without your consent, usually due to unpaid obligations such as taxes, mechanic's service charges, or other debts.
Notify the vehicle owner: You must provide written notice to the vehicle owner about your intention to place a lien on their vehicle. The notice should include details about the claim, the amount owed, and a deadline for the owner to respond or rectify the situation.
Before you can lien the car, you have to file and serve a notice of lien. Then you have to advertise the car for sale, but before you do that you have to send a certified letter to the known title holder. That would be you if the title were filed with DMV but the registered owner has to be notified as well.
