What is one measure a dealer should take to ensure they do not sell a vehicle with a lien?

  1. Conduct a background check on the customer

  2. Verify the vehicle's insurance history

  3. Perform a lien check on the vehicle

  4. Inspect the vehicle for damages

The correct answer is: Perform a lien check on the vehicle

A lien is a legal claim against a vehicle that gives the lienholder the right to take possession of the vehicle if the borrower fails to meet the terms of the borrowing agreement. To avoid mistakenly selling a vehicle with a lien, it is important for a dealer to perform a lien check on the vehicle. Option A, conducting a background check on the customer, may not reveal any existing liens on the vehicle. Option B, verifying the insurance history of the vehicle, also may not indicate if there is a lien on the vehicle. Option D, inspecting the vehicle for damages, is important but does not address the issue of a lien. Therefore, performing a lien check on the vehicle is the best measure a dealer can take to ensure they do not sell a vehicle with a lien.
