Best Answer

An auto lien means that another person has a claim to the auto too. It is not owned outright.

Auto liens are usually entered into when an auto purchase is financed through a bank or other creditor. These are mutual agreements made during the sale and the lien is entered in the county recorder's office for the record. If you wanted to sell the auto before fulfilling your loan agreement and having the lien discharged, then the 1st lien holder (usually the bank) has specific rights to any proceeds from the sale before anyone else, including yourself.
