The Rule encourages dealers to either (1) hang the Buyers Guide from the rear-view mirror inside the car or on a side-view mirror outside the car, (2) place it under a windshield wiper, or (3) display it in a removable clear plastic sleeve on the side of a window. The Rule allows a dealer to remove the Buyers Guide for a test drive; however, the dealer must return the Buyers Guide to the vehicle as soon as the test drive is over. At the End of the Sale While a consumer is not required to sign the Buyers Guide, it is highly recommended that dealers obtain signatures on the Buyers Guide from all buyers in a transaction to verify compliance with the Rule. A dealer must provide consumers with a copy or the original Buyers Guide at the conclusion of the sale. As a best practice, a dealership should retain a copy of the Buyers Guide for each transaction, so in the event an issue arises, a dealer has confirmation of compliance. Penalties for Non-Compliance A dealer who violates the Used Car Rule may be subject to fines of up to $50,120 per violation in FTC enforcement actions. If you have any concerns or questions about compliance with the Buyers Guide, we recommend that you contact legal counsel. 15
