So my 2019 Honda Civic is nearing the end of its lease. I decided I want to keep the car as the payoff is low making it a great value in today’s market.
I went ahead and completed the purchase of the car through Honda financials portal and sent in the odometer statement. This week I was reading somewhere and saw that Florida is a state that requires lease buyouts to happen at a dealer?
There is no mention on Honda financial website of it being a requirement for Florida, they provided a buyout quote and instructions over the phone and I was not stopped at all from sending a payment on the web portal.
What happens now? Will they send the title, issue a refund and direct me to a dealer?
Anyone have experience with this?
