But 5 of the 6 listed above are still great candidates for doing everything possible to remove lien prior to sale. If time is short (#2), there may not be any option other than trying to get whatever one can before hitting an immovable deadline - but that's the point, it will cost the seller money.
It's kind of like the Ninja 250's I've bought for $250-$400 that needed there carbs cleaned or other minor things to get them running and then sold for $1,000-$1,500. The previous owners could have done the same thing, but they didn't. Some people don't have the money, some don't have the time, some don't have the smarts to do it. And many people just want to take the easy way out.
