The car dealer cannot sell you a car and cannot transfer title to you if there is a lien on the car. Did you receive a title to the car? If you received the title, then there should not be a lown on the car. When did you discover there was a lien on the car? How were you able to register the vehicle with a lien? If you were not told about the lien and if you were given title with no indication of a lien and if you were able to register the car without the lien, then you will win the case. You should make your case in writing to the dealer. You should avoid hiring an attorney because the cost will be significant.
