Hey Lowside,

The vehicle I'm buying...the finance company holds the title...and they said after they get the money they will release the title, but the title is a electronic copy since the car was financed from them when new, so they will send it to the DMV and DMV will print me a new title and mail it directly to me...(this info was all from nissan finance USA). Does that sound right? does that mean I can't cross the border with the car for like 3 weeks?

edit: Just asked RIV, they said I can either have a title, or a MCO (Manufacturers Certificate of Origin), but I've never heard of that...hmm...where to get this?
