In what scenario can a temporary permit be issued by a dealer?

A temporary permit can be issued by a dealer specifically when a vehicle is sold to another dealer. This practice allows the purchasing dealer to legally operate the vehicle while preparing for its resale or use as they transition ownership. The temporary permit provides a significant benefit by facilitating the movement of inventory and helping dealers manage logistics without needing to go through extensive registration processes immediately.

In contrast, promotional or seasonal permits are typically not a function of dealer permits. The purpose of a temporary permit is not to support marketing or holiday sales directly. Additionally, temporary permits are not specifically limited to used vehicles or vehicles that may not meet safety standards. Temporary permits are intended primarily to help with the distribution and transfer of vehicles between licensed dealerships.
