+1. You must get the lien release before.

Use an escrow service. Works the same as when you are buying a house that has a mortgage.

Give a lawyer $400 to write a contract.

OP here. CJs?

So when would I get the title to the car?

CJ’s out the payoff from the lender. Pay off loan, give rest to current owner.

It’s a 6 month old Audi convertible with very, very low miles. Ordering new one would take 8 months+ with cost of car potentially going up.

Current owner will pay off loan after I pay him.

Assume it’s a very bad idea.
