As kind of a spin off on my Talon for sale thread anyone know why they take so fucking long to get a title out? What the process is and if it's just man power why they don't just hire a few more people?

It's in the 8 week range for me waiting to get my title for my car so I could actually sell it. Now some say it will be another 4-5 weeks.

They were out to almost 4 months for a bit, then they got way better. I got the title for my bike in 6 weeks. Now it sounds like they are getting way out there again. I am not sure if this shutdown involved the title processing or not, it kind of seems like it though.

I'm sure the shutdown has most to do with it. Government slowed down and now they have to get caught up again.

I feel sorry for the guys at the testing facilities the first week back on the job.

I was told it was going to take about 3 months for my talons title. That was in May, before the shutdown, so it was already like this before the shutdown took place. It's been 2 months now, still no title for it. Just gotta live with it I suppose.

Last summer the state was like 12 weeks behind, no ryhme or reason. I work with titles quite a bit and if I here how backed up they are now I'll let you know. There's always the two people that submit there titles at the same time, one gets his title in like three weeks and the other takes the full 12.

Why did you have to stare at your 2g for 6 weeks? Because you didn't have a title for it? It it was tranferred and you had it insured, you could drive it. You don't necessarily have to have the title in your hand to drive a vehicle. As long as everything is set in motion, it doesn't matter.

Is there any way to sell the car to a person if you don't have the title yet? Then give them the title as soon as you get it?

well 1) supposidly the place that had the title lost it. 2) my parents didnt want to get it insured until the title came to save money i guess 3) i had to sell my other car first ( ford probe gt) *gag*

Yes. When I got the 2G they didn't have the title on hand so there was actually 2 other state forms that can be filled out to take the place of the title itself while waiting. That's all I know.
