Your car title is one of the most essential pieces of documentation for your car. In fact, it’s necessary for every purchase or sale. At Carroll Chevrolet, we’re diving into all the details to give you a closer look.
What Does a Title Look Like?
A car title looks similar to a birth certificate. It’s issued by the state where your vehicle was purchased and includes a seal for authenticity. It contains the vehicle’s make, model, year, color, and VIN. It also includes the date of sale and the odometer reading when it was sold.
Do Used Cars Have Titles?
Used cars already have a title, which includes the previous owner’s information. When the ownership changes, you’ll have to transfer the title to your name. In Florida, the dealer usually takes care of this process, which is included in your document fees.
Why Don’t I Have Mine?
Car buyers won’t receive an official copy of their title until the vehicle is paid for in full. If you’ve financed your vehicle, you’ll only have a copy until your loan is paid off. This copy typically arrives within 90 days of your purchase and will list your lender as the owner.
Do I Need a Title to Sell My Vehicle?
Yes. Your title is essentially proof of ownership of your vehicle. If you still have an existing lien on your trade-in vehicle, we’ll pay off your lien so that we can request the title from your lender.
