It's now Monday, January 29th, 17 days after my last post. My daughter finally received her permanent registration Friday. She was without the use of her car for over three weeks. Fortunately, it was merely inconvenient and not seriously problematic. She still doesn't have the title. In the meantime she's had dire letters from the bank holding the lien saying they don't have the title, from her insurance company saying they can't confirm her registration, it's been a real mess. I haven't had a complete explanation, but as best I can gather from the bits and pieces of information I have gotten I believe the story is this: When my daughter bought the car the dealer was not in possession of the title and the lien release from the previous owner. There was forty-five day temporary period where they could gather that stuff and get the permanent registration. For whatever reason, they didn't get the lien release and the title and weren't able to register the car before the temporary registration expired. So we're finally able to use the car, but the absence of the title is still concerning.
