Hi Andrew

Phone the lender to obtain the lien amount, when funds are submitted the title will be mailed to you at which point you forward to buyer.

Some buyers will insist getting the title upon purchase, if you can't pay out the lien without funds from sale, have buyer submit funds direct to the lender, and request title to be send to buyer.

Have you got a proper bill of sale to make the transaction ?, if not, you can download one from the Internet for free.

To complete the sale go with buyer to your local DMV , here is a link to find one for your area that will also explain how to complete a private sale   http://www.usedcartips.org/DMV.html   if you get confused phone or visit the DMV for more details.
