Question about buying a used car

This week I found a used car on Craigslist that I really like. The price looks good and the car seems well taken care of. However there is one small problem.

The seller says his credit union still has a lien on the car because he hasn't finished paying off his car note. So basically the bank possesses the title, and I will be paying the bank the remainder of what's owed on the car. He claims that once the remainder of the loan is paid off, the bank will electronically forward me the title. He also says the bank is willing to give me a notarized bill of sale.

Is this normal or sketchy? I am almost tempted to say forget it and walk away.

It's normal when going through a local credit union...just make sure you sign the paperwork at the credit union with both parties in front of a notary.

This. Any transaction without full understanding and agreement should not be done. If the CU is not involved formally run away. I would personally not bother and move on but if it's a sweet deal and the price is right i understand the predicament.

Don't do it. I wouldn't assume his loan unless you go into the bank and they agree to transfer everything to your name. Otherwise get your own loan and meet him at his bank to pay off his loan and the title will be reissued to your bank and once you pay it off they will sign off on the title and hand it to you. Craigslist is full of scammers, proceed with extreme caution.

I ended up going through his bank and bought the car. They gave me a notarized bill of sale and letter guaranteeing the physical delivery of the title with a notary stamp. The title is registered to me through the state of GA; they just have to mail me a physical copy.

The car is an 08 Acura TL Type S with the rare 6-speed manual, and it was a pretty good deal, so I am definitely excited. Thanks for the advice everyone.

      If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

      it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.

      Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.

      Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
