Consumer trade-ins with outstanding loans are common—but managing payoffs can slow transactions, tie up cash, and create unnecessary administrative work. NextGear Capital’s Lienholder Loan Payoff (LLP) Program is designed to help independent dealers streamline the payoff process when accepting trade-ins with existing liens.

What is the Lienholder Loan Payoff Program?
The Lienholder Loan Payoff Program allows qualifying NextGear Capital clients to use their floor plan to pay off a consumer’s existing loan when a vehicle is taken in on trade. NextGear Capital manages the payoff process on the dealer’s behalf to reduce administrative burden and help move trade-in inventory more efficiently.
How the Program Works
The LLP process is designed to fit into your existing workflow:
- Accept a consumer trade-in that has an outstanding loan as part of a vehicle purchase.
- Floor the trade-in through the NextGear Capital account portal and submit the required documentation.
- NextGear Capital manages the consumer loan payoff process, helping reduce manual follow-up and paperwork.
Requests must be received within 30 days of purchase.
Handling Positive Equity on Trade-Ins
When a trade-in has positive equity—meaning the trade allowance exceeds the loan payoff amount—dealers may request financing for the difference, subject to program guidelines:
- NextGear Capital may finance equity up to the trade allowance or book value, whichever is less.
- Equity requests must be a minimum of $500.
- Approved equity is deposited into the dealer’s unapplied funds account within 24–48 hours after the payoff check is sent.
Why Independent Dealers Use LLP
Dealers who use this program may benefit from:
- Reduced administrative effort by having NextGear Capital manage consumer loan payoffs.
- Increased inventory flexibility, making it easier to accept trade-ins with liens.
- Access to potential positive equity, when applicable and approved.
