Get the lien taken care of first if you are to buy it. Years ago my parents bought a car from a used car dealer. When the original owners traded the car in at the dealer there was a lien on it. Instead of the dealer looking after the lien he gave the people the money for the car. So my parents come along, buy the car and then a few months later they get home from work and the repo man had come during the day and towed the car. They had threatened to send it to auction, etc... in the end the used car dealer stepped up and payed off the lien.
