What must a dealer ensure about a casual lot?

A dealer must ensure that a casual lot displays no more than six vehicles without a sale. This regulation is in place to prevent a casual lot from operating like a full dealership, ensuring that it does not exceed the number of vehicles that can be displayed without having a formal sales structure in place. By limiting the number of vehicles to six, it helps maintain the distinction between casual sales and a more established dealership environment, where licensing and other requirements are more stringent.

This regulation also supports fair market practices and consumer protection by ensuring that casual lots do not create an undue advantage over licensed dealers who adhere to more rigorous operational standards. The limitation helps to control the number of vehicles that can be sold by casual sellers, thereby promoting transparency and accountability in vehicle sales.
