Car-buyers say they received temporary tags that ultimately expired

ABERDEEN, Md. — A Harford County man bought a car online from Carvana, but the sweet deal turned sour when he couldn't get the car registered in Maryland.

A tow truck repossessed Jo Riedel's SUV. He expected it to happen after he told the car dealer, "I'm not going to make any more payments on this vehicle."

Riedel, of Aberdeen, said he couldn't legally drive his 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander because it was never properly registered.

"It's been a full year of just needless headache and feeling of being ripped off and extra stress on our family that we don't need," Riedel said.

He bought the car from Carvana, the company with the giant car vending machines. The company's ads attract customers looking for an innovative online way to purchase vehicles.

"The buying process seemed a lot more streamlined. So, I was actually optimistic at that point," Riedel said.

But when the car arrived, he noticed something odd.

"I did notice that the temporary tags from the dealership said 'Carvana,' but they were from Georgia, which I found a bit interesting because I live in Maryland," Riedel said.

When the 30-day tag expired, Riedel said Carvana sent him another 30-day tag, which also expired.

"When I started complaining about not getting the tags after 90 days, they said that there was something wrong with the initial paperwork," Riedel said.

He said he sent new paperwork but still never got a title, registration or permanent license plates.
