How do you sell a car to a private buyer if you still have a lien on it?

More specifically, how would the buyer register the vehicle if I have to wait to pay off the vehicle with the lien holder? The lien holder has the title, and I imagine it would be weeks before they processed the payoff and got the title back to me.

1. most people undestand you have to pay the lein off. It will take a few weeks to get the title. After signing the title you need to send it in to have you as the registered owner and not the lein company. After you are the primary you sign it over to the new owner.
2. Pay off the lien, then give the title to buyer. Get a contract from a notary public as proof of the change.
