Usually you'll direct payment (wire, cashiers check) directly to the loan. The loaning institution won't give you the title until the loan is satisfied (payment clears 'properly'). At that point the title is sent to the owner (seller) who had the loan on the car. Then the owner (seller) transfers the title to the buyer. Depending on the state this requires a notarized signature. Sometimes the actual titles are held at a central office and are mailed after the loan is satisfied so it takes an additional couple of days to get.

If you paid off a loan with some sort of check, they won't give you the title the check 'clears' how ever long that takes. On titles with a lien, there is an area that the bank 'signs' clearing the lien and opens the title up to be transferred etc.
