Yes, I had two of 'em installed about three years ago, one in the kitchen and

The stealership or the owner have to arrange a release of the lien at the time
of sale. The lien holder gets his nut, signs the release line in the title
where the lien is recorded, and you get a clear title conveyed to you.
If you know who the lender is, call them and ask how they handle it.
