Will escrow service pay off the sellers car

Most times you and the seller go to the finance company that's holding the title. You pay the finance company directly and take the vehicle. When the seller receives the title they sign it over to you. Be sure to get a written receipt from the finance company for your payment and a written statement from the seller stating that they will immediately sign the title over to you upon receipt. You should both sign the statement and each keep a copy. Getting a third, uninterested, person to sign the statement as a witness is helpful. If the seller balks, move on to another vehicle. Hope that helps! Jim
