Q: When does the state determine the number of dealer plates I can have to operate my business? A: The key determinant factors are the number of motor vehicles that you sell and the number of full-time sales employees you have. NHADA recommends that if you request additional plates, you must have a solid business reason why.

A: There is a two-part answer to this question: 1. All new vehicles that have not yet been titled are exempt from inspection requirements and need not receive an inspection sticker. NHADA suggests dealers inspect and sticker dealer-plated vehicles that will be on the road for more than demo rides. This is a safety mechanism to ensure local police do not pull you over only to find out you are in compliance.
