On liens, yes, the mechanic may technically be able to put a lien on a vehicle, but how easy is it to enforce? And consequently, how many mechanics pursue that avenue? Whereas with real estate, a mechanic's lien has real power. There's absolutely no way you can sell the building without paying it off. And you can't just take it for a test drive and never come back. Other than lenders, I haven't heard of any cases where there's a lien put on a vehicle, though there must be some. |
