Read the first 7 OMVIC Curbsiding and Illegal Sales Practices flashcards as text

  1. According to the MVDA 2002, which of the following is required before a dealer can be registered with OMVIC?

    Answer: Completion of the OMVIC certification course and exam

    Completion of the OMVIC Salesperson Certification Course and passing the exam are mandatory prerequisites for OMVIC dealer and salesperson registration.

  2. A curbsider poses as a private seller and omits disclosing that the vehicle has a rebuilt title. Which MVDA principle does this most directly violate?

    Answer: The duty to disclose all material facts affecting the vehicle's value or desirability

    Material fact disclosure is a core obligation; a rebuilt/branded title materially affects a vehicle's value and must be disclosed.

  3. What is the primary purpose of the OMVIC Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund?

    Answer: To compensate consumers who suffer financial losses due to the fraudulent or dishonest actions of a registered dealer

    The Compensation Fund exists to compensate consumers who lose money due to fraud or dishonest conduct by a registered OMVIC dealer.

  4. Under the MVDA 2002, a registered salesperson who leaves their employing dealership must:

    Answer: Notify OMVIC and have their registration transferred to a new registered dealer before conducting any sales

    Salesperson registration under the MVDA is tied to a specific registered dealership; the salesperson must transfer registration before making any sales for a new employer.

  5. Which red flag would most strongly indicate a private seller advertisement is actually from a curbsider?

    Answer: The seller has limited personal knowledge of the vehicle's service history and shows signs of rush

    Lack of personal vehicle knowledge combined with urgency to complete the sale quickly are key curbsider indicators, as they typically do not have genuine ownership familiarity.

  6. Can an OMVIC-registered dealer legally allow an unregistered individual to sell vehicles on consignment through the dealer's lot?

    Answer: No, the vehicle must be owned by the dealership or the sale must be conducted by a registered salesperson only

    Consignment arrangements must comply with MVDA requirements; unregistered individuals cannot conduct vehicle sales through dealer premises — all sales must involve registered personnel.

  7. A consumer buys a car from a curbsider and later discovers the odometer was rolled back. Their BEST legal remedy under Ontario law is:

    Answer: Pursue civil action against the seller and report to OMVIC and the Ministry for prosecution

    Since the Compensation Fund does not cover unregistered sellers, the consumer's best remedies are a civil lawsuit against the seller and reporting to OMVIC/Ministry for criminal prosecution.
