Can a dealer issue permanent plates on the same day you buy a used car?

A used car is likely to already have license plates issued to it. These may be out-of-state plates. License plates stay with the car (see below for exception), regardless of owner. If you buy a used car that already has plates, the registration may not be current. In that case, the dealer will put a temporary registration decal on the car window to indicate that the registration is in process. You can drive the car like this. Typically there will be a delay of 30-60 days while the DMV processes it, and they might send the sticker to the dealer. In that case, you take the car back to the dealer and they will put it on for you. The Department of Motor Vehicles is responsible for handling vehicle title and plate issuance, and such details are usually not taken care of until the car is sold and a new owner is established. Most dealerships will handle the title transfer process for you (for a fee, which is typically itemized on your contract invoice -- if not, you should ask for an itemized list of fees). A used car that does not have license plates already issued to it is something you should investigate. The car may be a salvage title, and the car was previously reported destroyed and the original plates voided. It is legal to resell such a car, but it will be issued new plates and the title will note this salvage status. A salvage title indicates that some serious damage occurred to the vehicle. This could be a traffic accident exceeding a certain dollar value, flooding, hail damage, or any of a number of other incidents. If you suspect that a dealership is trying to sell a salvage car without disclosing that salvage status, you should run far away and go to another dealer.
