In Florida, How long do you have to register a used vehicle from a private seller?

November 16th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am buying a vehicle in Florida from a private seller that is 2 hours away. When I get there, it will be too late in the day to register the vehicle and get a tag and I don’t want to get a ticket or any other trouble for it. I already added it to my insurance. I will be registering the vehicle the very next day.

So I guess my real question is, will I be okay driving it for one day without a tag and not getting a ticket if the police pull me over? Thanks all!

It really depends on the officer, if you happen to get pulled over. But, I personally wouldn’t worry about it. I would just make sure you take any supporting documents along with you. For instance, the title for the vehicle with a signature and date of transfer. You say you have contacted your insurance company, so if neccesary he/she can verify that as well.

Since you’ll now be a proud owner of a "new" car, a good place to know about is: http://www.autorepairinflorida.com/Category/Auto-Repair/ Although, hopefully you won’t have any car troubles for some time to come!

Congrats on your car!
