Can i get an abandoned title on a car with a lein?

I had bought a car a couple years ago from a old couple and they had got it from another guy the couple never got the car switched into their names so when I got it I figured I would get it running b4 I messed ith the title or any thing well I moved 6 hours out of phx and I found out that the guy has a lien against it could I get an abandoned title and if so is it worth it or should I just sell off parts
