How long did it take you for your plates, title, registration to come in?

Wow. Checked again with our title clerk and she describes the PENNDOT process as follows:
Title clerk says that as soon as the arrival is logged, PENNDOT should be able to look up your paperwork's status by your VIN or name and address. They should then be able to tell you approx. how long is left.
This begs the next question...on what date did your dealer send the paperwork to Harrisburg? And how did they send it? If PENNDOT still has no record of receiving anything, it sounds as though the original packet was lost in transit (or lost at PENNDOT).
Any luck on the dealer re-issuing your temp tags?
- Paperwork arrives at PENNDOT from NJ dealer
- Arrival of paperwork is logged at PENNDOT by VIN, Name (of titleholder - you and/or lessor if applicable - and address
- Title paperwork goes through PENNDOT's normal slow process

It's so shady to me. When I called a couple weeks ago to the DMV, they have no record of my purchase. I told the dealer this and he says they use another service to get my plates and it eventually goes back to the state. I am going to call Penn Dot again today. I keep calling him everyday and he says he's working on it.. or looking into it. No luck on getting his to issue new tags. He won't do it. He says it's against the law. It's ridiculous.

According to our title clerk, this means PENNDOT never received the packet from the dealer. If I were you, I'd find out from your dealer exactly when and how the paperwork is sent to PENNDOT (don't talk to the salesperson, call and ask for their title clerk) then I'd call PENNDOT again (with your VIN as well as name and address) and see if they have it now.

This is ridiculous. Oh on top of that, MBUSA doesn't have record of my new card. They never received the paperwork from my dealer.

No the car already paid for. So I don't understand why I have no title yet. Partial address meaning my apartment number was omitted. I will have to call Penn Dot again tomorrow to find out where is my title. I should have received it by now.
