The original poster also didn't say the seller DID include the extra. Years of experience with liens and vehicles has shown me how things can go wrong. After I left the salvage yard, I had a badge for 10 years. Perhaps it's a cynicism from years of seeing people get taken, whether accidently or on purpose tends to make one a bit jaded.
If I buy or sell a vehicle with a lien, we all meet at the lending institution and pay cash and satisfy the lien in person. Anything else and things can go awry. Just look at this thread.
Yes, that is why I acknowledged that your question of the amount of the seller's check to the bank was a positive contribution to this thread.
The OP has already said he learned his lesson. If doing it again, he would do it differently.

Thanks for the advice. I definitely should have done things differently. I'll let you know what happens and will do things differently in the future.
