Figure anywhere from 3 weeks to 8 weeks average. Assuming they even have the title it has to go to DMV, many times passing thru a title subcontractor. DMV is pretty understaffed and under motivated. I'm sure lots of car are sold before the dealer has the title in his possession.nother time, I bought a car from an independent dealer and it took 3 weeks to get the title. They said something about they didn't have the title. I was real nervous about that one because they were kind of shady.
