Yup. You owe the money, not the new title holder. The new title holder's title will be encumbered by a lien, but the debt is yours. You don't think you don't owe the mechanic for car repairs just because you sold the car do you?

I agree. The lien on title is there as security, not to identify the party responsible for the debt.
