Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Under age car purchase

Our son purchased a car as a 20 yr

old in Florida. He was led by the

salesman to finance a used car for 7.5

years. Is this a legal binding sale since

he was under 21 at the time of the

sale?

Thanks

Re: Under age car purchase

The age of majority in Florida is 18, so the contract isn't voidable based on age.

Re: Under age car purchase

Age of majority is 18. Afraid he's stuck with the car.

Now, he may choose to sell it, or even refinance it for a shorter term through his bank or credit union.
