This sucks!
So I bought my "new to me" F150 about 45 days ago. For some reason the Kansas dealer was having issues getting the Title out of Wisconsin (Damn Cheeseheads). Now my 30 day tag is expired and the dealer told me it could be up to 8 weeks to get my title. They gave me a rental so I have wheels but now I'm making payments on a truck that is stuck in my driveway. Just wanted to vent a little, thanks for listening.

What is the dealership doing? Did they tell you why it's taking so long? If it's been 30days and they quoted another 8 weeks, that's like 90days/3 months. Sounds a little fishy and I'd have someones *** for that or be talking to an attorney.
Like previously stated, at least they gave you a rental. But I'm with you, get a new truck, you want to drive it, not let it sit in the driveway.
Good luck and hope they get the title ASAP.

The dealer said that the Wisconsin titling agency is behind and that's the hang-up. I don't really know how lagit that sounds but we'll see. And they gave me the classic "don't worry we'll take care of you" line.

Your post is regarding the DMV and license plates. The post is regarding the Title of the Vehicle which a company has on file. Unsure how the DMV and license plates impact receiving the Title from a purchase? At least here in CO, the title is held by the company that owns the vehicle, while the DMV only issues registration for plates and drivers license.
Even so, why if the dealer who should own the vehicle and should be able to process the title work themselves. It's only getting the transfer of registration to the DMV that would be a problem.

I don't know how the law on such things in that part of the world. In Wyoming if you have vehical with an out of state title a Highway Patrol Officer has to look at the VIN and such to make sure you are not trying to launder a title.

I'm not sure what the rules are where you're from but here in Florida they HAVE to renew the temporary tag until they get the real tag for you. The dealership where I bought mine did the same thing to mine. I renewed my "temp" tag for 3 months and after 3 long months they finally called me and got it to me. There ain't no way I'm going to be paying for a truck that I can't drive because of the dealership.
You should really check into this. They do this stuff all day everyday so why should you get screwed for buying a truck??

I live In wi, and I just got new plates in four days after I paid for them online.
that was only a week ago.
The Wi dmv was VERY far behind last year after a computer system update, but that was over a year ago, closer to two years now.
