Tread carefully if you intend to do this, because you could get screwed badly if you don't go about it the right way. Typically, you would be the one who the lien became held against, meaning you'd be the one who payed the lienholder. Make sure that you get everything transferred to you, and that you make your payments directly to the lienholder, and not to the seller - the seller could very well decide not to pay the lienholder, and then you'd be the one left holding the bag for it.
If you're not buying this vehicle from a car dealership, I'd recommend you consult an attorney for advise on how to proceed with this purchase in a fashion which ensures all legal issues are covered, and that you're protected.
