After selling a vehicle, what must the dealer provide to the buyer?

The correct response is that the dealer must provide a bill of sale and any necessary disclosures regarding the vehicle. A bill of sale serves as a legal document that records the transaction between the buyer and the seller. It includes essential information such as the purchase date, vehicle identification number (VIN), and the sale price. This document not only finalizes the transfer of ownership but also serves as an important record for both parties.

Additionally, necessary disclosures often include information about the vehicle's history, such as whether it has been in accidents, its previous ownership, or any existing warranties. These disclosures are crucial for ensuring that the buyer is fully informed about the vehicle’s condition and any potential issues. Such transparency is aligned with consumer protection laws that aim to promote fair dealings in vehicle sales.

The other choices, while they may represent some benefits or services associated with vehicle purchases, are not mandatory items that must be provided upon the completion of a sale. For instance, a manufacturer-sponsored warranty is not always applicable for all vehicles sold, particularly used ones. Similarly, setting up monthly payment plans is typically part of a financing agreement rather than a requirement for selling a vehicle. Free maintenance packages, while attractive, are promotional offerings and not a legal necessity.
