Nev. Admin. Code § 482.240

Current through December 12, 2024
Section 482.240 - Use of various selling techniques
1. Unsupported claims of underselling are not in the public interest and must not be used since it is obvious that no dealer can be fully informed about every competitor's prices at all times.
2. Use of cards, circulars or other advertising with offers such as "would you take $...," or "if I could get you $... for your vehicle" must not be used. These are deceptive and detrimental to the public's interest.
3. No equipment, accessories or other merchandise may be described as "free" if the advertised vehicle can be purchased at a discount or lesser price without the articles. "Free" offers which require the purchase of something else, or a contractual obligation, or the performance of a service, must describe the conditions under which the "free" offer may be obtained.
4. When words such as "guaranteed," "warranty" or other terms implying protection are used in advertising one or more specified vehicles by radio, television, newspaper, magazines, display signs or any other type of advertising and the warranty referred to does not apply to all vehicles advertised, explanation must be given in clear and concise language, specifying each vehicle to which the warranty or guarantee does apply. The time and coverage of this guarantee or warranty must be clearly stated in the advertising. The purchaser of a vehicle covered by a guarantee or warranty must be provided with a written document stating the specific terms and coverage.
5. Statements such as "write your own deal," "name your own price," "name your own monthly payments," "appraise your own car" and similar phrases are obviously untrue and must not be used.
