One excerpt that explains part of the processQuote »title branding law contains a "title washing" provision which, while unclear, seems to provide that a purchaser of a resold lemon can apply to have the brand removed from the title if the purchaser is using the vehicle for "private" use and the vehicle has 36,000 or more miles on its odometer or 34 months, whichever is later. If consideration is given to providing a point at which a brand or disclosure-type label can be removed from a vehicle or is no longer required, it should relate to the passage of time, rather than to repair. This office suggests that it be the first subsequent consumer/owner who wishes to sell or transfer the vehicle to another consumer for private use, and not a manufacturer, dealer, auction or broker, who can apply to have the disclosure requirement removed, provided the first subsequent owner has held title to the vehicle for a period of three years or operated the vehicle for 36,000 miles, whichever is later. This would be consistent with the current Florida law which protects the first subsequent purchaser with a manufacturer warranty covering the defects. [/quote]
