Lien/Hold on Dodge Dart 75

Well got a hold of lien holder, they will not negotiate hold on car. I tried reasoning with them and told them the situation. Supervisor says they cannot lower lien cause its from a criminal debt. So my options now are trying to locate individual and get my Money back and filing a police report as well, cause I decided I am not going to pay 1700 dollars for someone else's mistake. Cars is nice but not that nice for 3500. Lesson to all, be wary of a clean title these days, just cause it states it doesn't make it true. Also lien holder will not reposses the car, I told them to come and get it and charge the owner towing fees and storage fees. They don't want it!

As I said before I would not take a loss on that car if I was you. You could possibly place your own towing & storage lien on the car for a dollar amount high enough to limit bidders including the previous lien holder. Then lien sale the car to get paperwork to take to MVD. There is a ton of companies that handle this type of transaction in California. I would imagin Arizona is no different. Couldn't hurt to call one of those companies and see if that would work to strip the previous criminal lien. there has to be a way, what would they do if they had the car and it only sold for $500. As others have said I would part it out before giving up on it. Sure bet the money you gave the previous owner is long gone already.
