Oklahoma a title holding state again?

[dlbleak]

DIL just tried to tag their newish car. Just need proof of sales price at the agency to pay excise tax I guess. I liked knowing my titles were in the safe but I guess that’s a no go now.
We just bought a car last week and no one at the dealer mentioned anything about it. I probably would have waited a month then questioned what was going on. Oh well.

Just got a car in DEC before the prices went nuts. It took 35 days to get the title. I had to pick it up from the dealer. They didn't say anything either until I asked. No title no tags so the temp was overdue by about a week-ish.

Our daughter is in a similar boat. She went through the process of buying her first car completely on her own. The dealership has been no help at all. She bought hers before the law went into place and she should have her title. The title clerk has been absolutely horrible and now she’s overdue. I told her to ask for the manager and diplomatically chew some arse.

What is the new law you speak of?

Lender holds the title until the loan is satisfied or you need a lien release to sell

We were a non holding state for many years. I think it was in the mid 90’s that we went to non?

Title paper shortage. Yes, that is a thing. It’s been going on now for a while, but a new vehicle should already have the title from the manufacturer. The paper shortage should only apply after you registered the vehicle. I’m sure they have a new excuse now..

Edit: I guess Oklahoma became a title holding state July 1, 2022.
