  1. Under OMVIC standards, which statement about 'bait and switch' advertising is correct?

    Answer: It is a prohibited practice where a dealer advertises a vehicle with no intent to sell it at that price

    Bait and switch advertising — advertising a vehicle at an attractive price with no intent or ability to sell it at that price — is explicitly prohibited under OMVIC's advertising standards.

  2. A dealer runs a 'limited time' sale advertisement. Under OMVIC rules, what must be true about this advertisement?

    Answer: The sale period and any conditions must be clearly stated and the advertised price must be genuinely available

    Limited time sale advertisements must clearly state the sale period and any conditions, and the advertised price must actually be available to consumers during that period.

  3. A dealer's all-in price advertisement for a used vehicle does not mention that a safety certificate is not included. Under OMVIC standards:

    Answer: The dealer should clearly disclose whether the vehicle is certified or sold uncertified

    Advertising must not be misleading; whether a used vehicle is sold certified or uncertified is a material fact that should be clearly stated in the advertisement.

  4. Under OMVIC's advertising requirements, which statement about internet (online) advertising is correct?

    Answer: The same all-in price advertising standards apply to all forms of dealer advertising including online

    OMVIC's advertising standards apply to all dealer advertising regardless of the medium — print, radio, television, internet, and social media all fall under the same rules.

  5. A dealer advertises a vehicle at an all-in price of $31,000 but the vehicle is already sold when the buyer arrives. What must the dealer do to avoid an OMVIC violation?

    Answer: Remove the advertisement promptly once the vehicle is sold and not use unavailable vehicles to attract customers

    Continuing to advertise sold vehicles to attract customers is a deceptive practice; dealers must remove ads for sold inventory promptly.

  6. Which organization has the primary mandate to establish and enforce advertising standards for motor vehicle dealers in Ontario?

    Answer: OMVIC (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council)

    OMVIC is the delegated authority under the MVDA to regulate and enforce advertising standards for Ontario's registered motor vehicle dealers.

  7. A dealer adds a charge for mandatory winter tires that are installed on every vehicle sold at their lot. Under the all-in price rule, this charge:

    Answer: Must be included in the all-in advertised price if they are mandatory on every vehicle

    Any mandatory charge that every buyer must pay — including mandatory tire packages — must be included in the all-in advertised price.
