Well, if you bought your car through an Idaho dealer, you won't have to contend with this. The dealer will process the title transfer for you within 30 days of delivery. The title will be sent to you unless there's a lien involved; in that case, the title goes to the lienholder.
Now, if you bought a car through a private seller or an out-of-state dealer and there's a lien, the lender might file the paperwork for you. If that doesn't happen - or there's no loan involved with the transaction - here's how to proceed.
Why? Because, as a buyer, it gives you a better idea of what you might be purchasing. As a seller, it provides prospective buyers with some comfort and reassurance, as it shows you're not trying to hide the car's past. The entire vehicle history is there for them to view.
Title matters can sometimes be confusing. So, if you need clarification regarding a title issue, call the DMV at (208) 334-8663.
