Read the first 7 OMVIC Warranties and Vehicle Condition Representations flashcards as text

  1. A dealer advertises a vehicle as 'mechanically sound' without inspection. The vehicle breaks down on the buyer's drive home. This representation is:

    Answer: A material misrepresentation that may void the contract

    Claiming a vehicle is 'mechanically sound' without inspection is a material misrepresentation that could allow the buyer to rescind the contract.

  2. Under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act as it applies to vehicle sales, what is the cooling-off period for a vehicle purchased from a dealer using a direct agreement?

    Answer: No cooling-off period exists for vehicle sales

    Standard motor vehicle purchases from dealerships in Ontario do not have a statutory cooling-off period; consumers must negotiate carefully before signing.

  3. A dealer sells a rebuilt vehicle without disclosing its rebuilt status on the bill of sale. Under OMVIC, this is:

    Answer: A violation requiring mandatory disclosure

    Rebuilt status is a mandatory disclosure; failing to include it violates OMVIC's Code of Ethics and the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act.

  4. Which document must Ontario dealers provide to used vehicle buyers before a sale is finalized?

    Answer: The Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP)

    Ontario law requires dealers to provide the UVIP to used vehicle buyers before the sale is completed.

  5. A dealer's warranty states 'engine and transmission covered for 30 days.' A water pump fails on day 20. Is this covered?

    Answer: No, because the warranty specifically lists only engine and transmission

    Written warranties are interpreted strictly; if the water pump is not listed, it falls outside the specific coverage stated.

  6. Under OMVIC rules, if a dealer makes a verbal promise about a vehicle's condition that is not in the contract, that promise is:

    Answer: Generally unenforceable unless it can be proven in writing

    Verbal promises not included in the written contract are very difficult to enforce, which is why OMVIC urges buyers to get all representations in writing.

  7. A dealer fails to disclose that a vehicle was previously used as a taxi with 300,000 km of commercial use. Under OMVIC, this omission is:

    Answer: A material omission that violates the duty of full disclosure

    Prior commercial use is a material fact that substantially affects value and must be disclosed under OMVIC's full-disclosure obligation.
