Toyota Financial mail title?

I financed my Tacoma through Chase. After I paid off the loan, Chase mailed me the title. We just paid off my wife's Toyota Highlander and Toyota Financial didn't mail us the title, rather they mailed a notorized letter that basically says that Toyota "no longer has a security interest in the vehicle". We called Toyota Financial to see why we didn't receive the title and they said we have to bring this letter to our DMV to receive the title. This will cost me $65.

Is this normal when financing a vehicle from Toyota Financial?

 

Just paid my truck off and pen dot mailed the title to me, Toyota just sent a letter saying there was no longer a lien on it.

 

How long between Toyota sent the letter and pen dot mailing the title?

 

Got my title from Toyota finance within weeks of payoff
Free!

 

When I refinanced TFS was supposed to send the title to my new lender, they sent it free and clear with no liens noted or recorded etc. directly to me personally.

So who knows?

TFS is pretty screwed up though.

 

Less then a week, no charge and I didn’t have to do anything either. Toyota said pendot would be sending it out.

 

I got a letter via mail after truck paid off... I took letter to clerk office for stamp on my title for free... No need to replace title unless you want to have own title without any bank info on it.

 

What state? Processes vary greatly.

 

Somewhere along the way toyota realized instead of going to the DMV themselves they could just make you do it and save 65$

 

Every state seems to be a little different

 

Some states probably let the dealer pass that cost on to the owner, some don't. Probably buried down in the fine print when you sign

 

A car is not an investment.

 

This day and age they are, if you’re selling anyway.

 

SETF mailed me a letter saying they no longer held a lien on the title. About a week later, they mailed me the title. Purchased in NC, OR title.

 

Louisiana

 

Who are you replying to?

 

Just paid off our Highlander and TFS mailed the Title to me directly within 2-3 weeks. I'm in Oregon, fwiw.

 

in nys when you purchase the vehicle- you have possession on the title(with lien printed on it )when you pay it off you get a lien release from lender. In vt the lender keeps the title

 

LOL everyone in here chiming in about how their state does it, as if there's supposed to be one way.
