Understanding Penalty Fees for Dealer Inventory Vehicles

If you have recently purchased a vehicle from an auction that has since been placed in dealer inventory, it is important to understand the implications regarding penalty fees. This article outlines the reasons why these fees cannot be waived and provides guidance on what steps to take if you have further questions.

Why Penalty Fees Are Imposed

When a vehicle is sold at auction, there are specific timelines and regulations that must be adhered to. If a vehicle remains in dealer inventory past its expiration date, penalty fees become applicable. Unfortunately, these fees are not eligible for waivers under current policies.

The 25-30 Day Timeline

The standard timeline from purchase at auction is typically between 25-30 days. In this case, any exceptions related to penalties do not apply once the vehicle enters dealer inventory after this timeframe has lapsed.

Next Steps for Vehicle Owners

If you find yourself facing penalty fees due to your recent purchase:

• Review Your Purchase Agreement: Ensure that all terms were understood prior to completing your transaction.
• Contact Customer Support: Should you require clarification or assistance regarding your situation, reaching out can provide additional insights into your options.
