The auction announces whether there is a title delay prior to starting the bidding. A delay is not bad though, it just means the previous dealer didn't bring it to the auction prior. 99% its harmless. The dealer has 14 business days to get it to the auction.
The other 1% can screw you! The title could have liens or a salvage. Also the dealer could have auctioned it prior to getting title from the original owner, which is illegal, and could have run into any number of issues with that exchange.
If its been over 30 days I'd be worried. When does your temp tag expire?
