OPINION

JONES, Bankruptcy Judge:

OVERVIEW

The trial court held that the defendant in this preference action gave “new value” by executing a vehicle certificate of title in return for payment for a vehicle that the defendant had given to the debtor to sell and which the debtor had sold to a third party. The trustee argues that the sale to the third party transferred title to the vehicle and cut off the rights of the defendant in the vehicle. Thus, the trustee asserts that the defendant’s execution of the certificate of title did not constitute. new value. We agree with the trustee and reverse.
