You will need to obtain the actual purchase price of the vehicle. At that point, you may want to contact your state Department of Motor Vehicle or comparable agency for additional information around where to go to complete the title transfer, fees, and taxes, and additional information required by your state to complete the title transfer. You are responsible for paying these expenses. You may want to consider including these fees and/or taxes into the requested loan amount.
Upon closing the auto loan, responsibility falls on you and the seller to make the changes to the title. Title could be sent to PNC Bank from prior lienholder. If that happens, you will be contacted by a represenative from PNC Bank. They will send the title and all paperwork from prior lienholder to you to get the transfer completed. Additionally, all fees and taxes incurred during this transaction is your responsibility to pay. PNC Bank is not responsible to pay or reimburse you for those fees or taxes.
Additional items may be required: Clean Title, State Department of Motor Vehicle form, Odometer Reading, Proof of Insurance, Notarized Bill of Sale, Copy of Driver's License, Power of Attorney Form, etc. Each state's requirements may differ, recommend contacting your state Department of Motor Vehicle for what is required.
Steps when transferring ownership of title:
1) You need to be listed as a registered owner on the vehicle title.
2) Have PNC Bank be listed as lienholder on the title.
