After the car is paid off, how long does it usually take for me to receive the title? Does it vary if I bought through a bank or Honda?

Is it the DMV that sends it out?

Thanks,

Well I would imagine it would depend on the state, but here in virginia it takes a couple (3 maybe) weeks.

 

When I sold my bike, it took about a week or two to get the title since I was still making payments on it...I then just mailed it to the buyer.

 

In the case of AHFC, it takes from 10-14 business days once they accept the final payment. The state you register the car in sends the title to the lienholder at the time of purchase. They secure it until you're done with paying it off.

 

My brother sold his GTI, paid through VW of America; and he was like, "Pay off the loan so I can mail the title on Wednesday!" I didn't think it would be here so fast... Like you guys said, it will probably take at least a couple weeks. But I think that should be okay since it takes that long for the check to clear any how.

 

Title is held by whoever has the loan. Bank usually. Just call them when you make the final payment to find out how long.
