I did trade my accord for a crv at Herb Chambers honda in Boston. they told me they just got the CRV and the bank has the title. It wont be at the dealer for 5-7 days. i did put a deposite and they told me to drive my car until they get the title. Is this normal or is something fishy about it? How long does it take usually for the bank to send the title? less than a week?... please advise.I paying the difference cash. so the CRV will be paid in full. The dealership told me that all they have now is the bank word ( the title should be there within a couple of days).

sounds fishy....you shouldn't have touched that car until you received a CLEAR TITLE to it.

it can take 1 month if the need to order it out of state it will get there as the deler is required to get it for you or buy the car back so the worst thing that can happen to you is you get a ferr car to drive for a while

Sounds like a legitamite dealership. Some banks or leinholders will hold the titles until the vehicle is paid for. What you'll get is a bill of sale with a leinholder's name on it. You'll still be able to register it, etc..I suggest that you call the bank and check their policies.

If you financed the CRV, you will only be getting a copy of the title. The bank will mail the original to you once the vehicle is paid in full. Typically, you don't even need the copy to register the vehicle, there will be a copy of the application for title in the paperwork the dealer gave you and that will normally suffice.If the CRV is paid in full, this is still completely normal. Depending on when and where the dealership got the vehicle, it can take days for them to get the paperwork, and then even more days for them to get your new title work to the state to title it in your name. Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.

Hey just wanted to say thank you for your answer to my question You said to write you back, but where?

That is very normal, the bank still had the title from the previous owner. So dont worry about, you will have your new CRV in no time. Good luck with new car!!

Its normal...in Nevada it took them over 4 months to send me the title after I paid off the car. My situation was a bit extreme but it can take quite a long time sometimes.

Keep your sales receipt handy that is all you need till your new registration comes through, You may not receive a title if you financed it There can be quite a delay, but that's normal

Nothing fishy about it. If they got the car from an auto auction, even take longer to get the title (a month or two).
