OT - lien search on US vehicles

[Incantation]

hey guys.. i'm canadian and i am looking to import another vehicle to Canada but this time i won't know the seller so i wanna be able to do a lien search.. is this possible to do online with the VIN?

in canada there is a site you go to, enter the VIN, and it will give you lien information (negative or positive)..

anything like that for the US?

thanks

not that I am aware of.

You might be able to check with the state the car is REGISTERED in...

also leinholders are listed on the state titles normally.

usually, yes--you'd need to know the state, and go to their website though.
here's florida's

I figured he was asking about a NATIONAL one since he didin't specify state

[ryan roopnarine]

i know, but i was curious about whether florida's online one would show lien status, so i went ahead and tried my vin out.
