Opinion when selling a car - Payoff?

Question:
I will be selling my car when it comes back from the shop next week. I still owe $2200 and I am trying to decide if I should pay it off now to get the clear title or should I just wait until the car sells. I plan on selling it myself at a discounted rate, so hopefully it will sell quickly. My finance company said that it will take 10 days to get the clear title sent to me or the new buyer. Any opinions or does it even matter?

I'd pay it off now to save on the hassle factor for the buyer. It's so much easier when they can just hand you the payment and you can just sign and give them the clear title.
