Sorry, but no. Your comment has no basis in reality outside of your own opinion.  90% of vehicles under 5 years old have notes on them and they trade privately all the time.   Ever heard of a lien release?  Buying a car from someone with a lien on it adds a step to the transfer process, but dealing with the bank is absolutely the list risky part of a used automobile transaction...
