Carvana is in hot water in Florida over title delays

Carvana is in hot water in Florida over title delays



If you live in Florida, the number of options for online car buying may be shrinking. The state’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles filed complaints against online auto retailer Carvana, citing title delays as the reason.

News Channel 8 reports that the state filed two complaints, one with 25 counts and one with eight. Florida officials claim that Carvana did not meet the state's 30-day requirement to complete title transfers. Some customers waited more than 100 days, and as Channel 8 notes, one person waited 253 days for their title. Florida gave Carvana 21 days to respond and could revoke the company’s dealer license in the state. Carvana could also end up paying a settlement, reaching $33,000 — $1,000 for each count.
