AUSTIN, Texas — On Monday, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Enforcement Division determined that CarGurus’ online advertisements are now in compliance with state law — after the vehicle-shopping site revised its practices.
In April, the Texas DMV issued a letter to CarGurus advising that the way it lists used-car prices on its website violated a law prohibiting savings claims or discount offers in used-vehicle advertisements. CarGurus was given 30 days to remove the content before the department said it would subject dealers with listings on the site to fines of up to $10,000 each day a violation occurs. The department later pulled back on its threat of enforcement action against dealers after a meeting with CarGurus officials.
