4. You need a lien release from the finance company. It typically takes 2-3 weeks or so.

Most of that time is just delaying so they're damn sure the last check doesn't bounce, combined with there being no real incentive for them to be prompt.

I just did this for my car. I now have the original title they were holding, but with a dated stamp and signature that says the lien was released.
