The MVDA requires registered dealers to retain all transaction records including bills of sale for a minimum of 3 years for compliance and audit purposes.

2. Under the MVDA, what obligation does a dealer have when selling a vehicle that has existing structural damage?

3. Under OMVIC's advertising standards, which of the following must be disclosed in a vehicle advertisement that promotes a specific sale price?

✓ All fees, charges, and taxes payable by the consumer to drive the vehicle off the lot

4. Under OMVIC regulations, a contract of purchase and sale for a motor vehicle must be provided to the buyer:

✓ At the time of signing

The dealer must provide the buyer with a copy of the signed contract at the time of signing, not after the fact.

5. What is the correct OMVIC definition of 'all-in price' for advertising purposes?

✓ The total price of the vehicle including all dealer fees and charges, excluding HST and licensing only

OMVIC defines all-in price as the total price the consumer will pay including all dealer-generated fees, with the only permitted exclusions being HST and actual government licensing charges.

6. Under Ontario's Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, which of the following must be included in a written contract for the purchase of a used vehicle from a registered dealer?

✓ The vehicle's year, make, model, VIN, odometer reading, agreed purchase price, and all fees and charges
