Head Matter:
Oscar ARRATE and Mercedes Arrate, Appellants, v. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC., Appellee.
No. 2D05-3854.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
March 17, 2006.
Theadore F. Greene III, Orlando, for Appellants.
John H. Pelzer, Ruden, McClosky, Smith Schuster & Russell, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for Appellee. .

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from a final judgment dismissing, with prejudice, a civil suit concerning the purchase of an allegedly defective automobile. The trial court concluded that the dispute was subject to mandatory arbitration.
The appellee now concedes error and recognizes that arbitration was not mandatory and that the action should proceed in the trial court.
Accordingly, we vacate the final judgment, and we remand the case for further proceedings in the trial court.
Vacated and remanded.
KELLY, WALLACE, and LaROSE, JJ., Concur.
