Is it normal for it to take over 5 weeks to get the title after buying a CPO outright in NoVa? Is it possible that the previous owner had an outstanding loan/lien and their bank is causing problems or being slothful?

How long should I wait before inquiring further?

You should have received it by now. Call whoever you bought it from ASAP.

Wouldn't you buy a car from someone and actually receive the title signed over to you then? (never bought a car from an individual) - assume that is what CPO is?

I assume certified pre-owned.

If it's certified pre-owned, then the dealer has the title. They would not have bought a car back from someone and not had the title transferred to them.



Just call the dealer where you got it and explain that you still don't have the title.

Or call DMV since they are the ones that issue the title.

As fate would have it, I came down with a cold and didn't have the energy this week to argue with anybody. Now I am feeling better and the title came in the mail yesterday. Perfect timing, now I can enjoy the weekend on the open roads, knowing that I have legal proof the car is mine!

Thanks to all who replied.
