Now, wait less than a week for the title come to you for a purchase in the State and expect no more than 2 weeks for a title on a buy out. After receiving the title, go to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) to obtain a trademark for the new title transfer. Be prepared to pay taxes that vary in price based on the type of area and car to receive the title and label. These fees are required and just to help pay for road maintenance, etc.
