Which of the following is NOT allowed when advertising a motor vehicle for sale?

  1. Using the dealer's name

  2. Advertising as a private party

  3. Including dealer license number

  4. Providing a detailed vehicle history

The correct answer is: Advertising as a private party

Advertising as a private party is not allowed for dealers because it can create confusion regarding the nature of the sale. When a dealer advertises a vehicle, it must be clear that the sale is being conducted by a licensed dealership and not an individual private seller. This requirement helps maintain transparency in the sales process, ensuring that consumers are aware they are dealing with a business that is subject to regulations and standards. In contrast, using the dealer's name is essential as it provides accountability and identifies the source of the sale, and including the dealer license number is a legal requirement that enhances transparency and consumer protection. Providing a detailed vehicle history is also encouraged as it informs potential buyers about the vehicle's past, fostering a more trustworthy sales environment.
