US Car title question from a Canadian eh?
Hey guys,
I am looking to purchase a US 911 and import it into canada in the next few weeks. Our title and registration system works differently here.
From what I gather from talking with US sellers is that generally they either have the title in hand (car fully paid for) or the lien holder has the title (example: bank). My question is.......
How do I get the title and buy a car if the owner owes money on it? I was thinking I would give both a cheque to the seller and a cheque to the lien holding bank on the seller's behalf. Does this seem correct?
If so, how long will it take for me to get the title? Is it handed over right then and there as I hand them the cheque?
I will need the title to pass back through customs..... and I don't want to have to further narrow my search for a clean 911 by only looking at fully paid cars.....
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks
