A salesperson's registration with OMVIC is tied to a specific dealer. If the salesperson leaves that dealer, what happens to their registration?
Answer: It becomes inactive until they are registered under a new dealer
Under the MVDA, a salesperson's registration is employer-specific; upon leaving a dealership, the registration becomes inactive until the salesperson registers under a new dealer.
Which of the following represents an acceptable method for a buyer to cancel a vehicle purchase agreement where the dealer has materially misrepresented the vehicle?
Answer: Send written notice of rescission to the dealer citing the misrepresentation
Rescission for misrepresentation requires formal written notice to the dealer clearly stating the grounds for cancellation.
A vehicle is sold with a 'balance of manufacturer's warranty.' What must the dealer confirm before advertising this?
Answer: That the manufacturer's warranty is actually transferable to a new owner
Dealers must verify that manufacturer warranties are transferable before advertising them as a selling feature, as some warranties are non-transferable.
Under the MVDA, what is required of a dealer before they can sell a vehicle that they know has frame or structural damage that was repaired?
Answer: Disclose the frame or structural damage to the buyer prior to the sale
Known structural or frame damage — even if repaired — is a mandatory disclosure item that must be communicated to buyers before completing the sale.
A dealer sells a vehicle to a buyer who later discovers the car was stolen and recovered. Which OMVIC requirement did the dealer likely violate?
Answer: The requirement to ensure clear title before selling and disclose any known title issues
Dealers must ensure vehicles have clear title before selling them; selling a vehicle with a clouded or fraudulent title is a serious MVDA violation.
What does OMVIC's Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund provide to consumers?
Answer: Financial compensation for eligible losses caused by registered dealer fraud
The Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund compensates eligible consumers who suffer financial loss due to fraud, misrepresentation, or breach of contract by a registered dealer.
A dealer has a 'no refund, no exchange' policy posted in the showroom. Under OMVIC and Ontario consumer protection law, how does this policy interact with mandatory disclosure obligations?
Answer: It does not eliminate the dealer's duty to make mandatory disclosures before the sale
Dealer policies cannot override statutory obligations; mandatory disclosure requirements under the MVDA apply regardless of any posted dealer policies.
