When advertising a specific number of motor vehicles, what is required?

When advertising a specific number of motor vehicles, it is required that the same number of vehicles must have been invoiced to the dealer. This requirement ensures that the dealer has the inventory on hand that they are claiming to offer to customers. Invoicing provides a formal record of the purchase, which helps maintain transparency and accountability in advertising practices.

If a dealer advertises a certain number of vehicles without having the same quantity invoiced, it may lead to customer dissatisfaction, potential claims of deceptive advertising, and legal repercussions. The integrity of the sales process relies on accurate representation of inventory, allowing consumers to trust that what they see in advertisements reflects reality. This requirement is in place to protect both consumers and dealers by promoting fairness in the marketplace.

Other options do not meet this standard for proper advertising. Displaying vehicles in a showroom or having them physically available on the lot, while they may seem relevant, do not directly address the requirement related to invoiced inventory, and estimating the number of vehicles does not ensure accuracy in representation.
