Forgive me for not knowing, but when are the tax/title/license actually due?

I have ordered the car, should be here end of October/November and I was wondering if I have some extra time to scrounge up another $3000 for tax or if I must pay the day I get the car.

Just so you know, I bought the car in Chicago, but live south about 400 miles.


Do I have 30 or even 45 days?

Do they give me the temporary tag?

I'm 21 so sorry that I'm bothering with this. I would like to put that money to a MacBook Pro but if I need it for tax immediately then I'll put that off.
Thanks!

 

Why not check with your state/county? Don't they have a website explaining it?

 

Sorry just trying to get a quick answer/consensus...

 

are you leasing? Financing? Cash?

 

TTL is usually due when you "pay" for the car. It is either worked into your loan (lease) or you will be paying it when you pick up the car.

 

I'm paying for some, and financing some...thanks, I did call downtown and they had no idea...government workers %)
