I would tell the seller to take care of the lien if he wants to sell it. Because even if it is there in error- you can bet he will be less motivated to get it removed once he has your cash. And then when you want to sell it you have to track this guy down, get it settled, etc. Or if you end up in an accident your insurance company will pay the 1st lien holder first.
Just too much bad that can come from this.
