How long does a lien stay on a car if you have a wrecked car with no payments for last year and dealer doesn't want it back and you want to take to junk yard or sell for parts but lien on title?

In: Repossession [Edit categories]

Answer:

Forever. But what you can do is ask for a release of lien from the dealer. Once you get a release of lien from the dealer, you go threw the normal titled process in your state to obtain a lost title.
