assignment of title, with warranty, in a form printed on the certificate, with a
statement describing all liens or encumbrances on vehicle. Delivery of Certificate With certain specific exceptions, the seller must deliver the certificate of title to purchaser or transferee at time of sale or delivery of vehicle, if the purchaser or transferee has made all agreed upon initial payments for vehicle, including delivery of a trade-in vehicle without hidden or undisclosed statutory liens.
