Under OMVIC rules, a dealer discovers a vehicle has been rebuilt after being declared a total loss. What must the dealer do?
Answer: Disclose the rebuilt/salvage brand to the buyer before the sale
A vehicle with a rebuilt title must have its branded status disclosed to any potential buyer before the sale is completed, regardless of the vehicle's current condition.
When a buyer trades in a vehicle as part of a purchase, what is the dealer's duty regarding any undisclosed lien on the trade-in?
Answer: Pay off the lien from the proceeds and clear the title before resale
The dealer is responsible for clearing all liens on trade-in vehicles before reselling them, as selling a vehicle with an undisclosed lien is illegal.
A buyer signs a purchase agreement and then discovers the vehicle's accident history online that the dealer did not disclose. Under OMVIC rules, what remedy is available?
Answer: The buyer may file a complaint with OMVIC and potentially rescind the contract due to misrepresentation
Failure to disclose mandatory accident history constitutes misrepresentation, allowing the buyer to rescind the contract and file a complaint with OMVIC.
Which of the following is a mandatory item in a motor vehicle sales contract in Ontario?
Answer: The agreed purchase price of the vehicle

A consumer buys a used vehicle and the dealer provides a 30-day warranty verbally. The written bill of sale states 'sold as-is.' Which applies?
Answer: The written 'sold as-is' clause because written agreements govern
The written contract governs over verbal representations; the 'sold as-is' clause in the written agreement would typically prevail under contract law.
What must a dealer include in the bill of sale when selling a vehicle that is subject to a manufacturer's recall that has not yet been repaired?
Answer: Disclosure of the open recall so the buyer is aware
Under OMVIC's disclosure obligations, any known open recalls should be disclosed to the buyer before the sale to ensure informed consent.
A dealer must provide a completed safety standards certificate when selling a used vehicle. When is a safety certificate NOT required?
Answer: When selling to another registered OMVIC dealer
A safety standards certificate is not required when selling a used vehicle to another registered motor vehicle dealer, as they will inspect the vehicle themselves before resale.
