What must a dealer do after the sale of a unit?

The requirement for a dealer to withdraw any advertisement for the sold unit within 48 hours of the sale addresses the importance of accuracy in available inventory. Once a unit is sold, it is critical for a dealer to update their advertising to reflect the current status of their inventory. This helps prevent potential misunderstandings or inconvenience for prospective buyers who may be interested in a unit that is no longer available.

While other responsibilities may exist in the sales process, such as notifying the DMV of the sale within a specific timeframe, the key focus here is on the immediate update of advertising to maintain transparency and trust with customers. This practice aligns with ethical selling standards and contributes to a more efficient sales operation. Thus, the obligation to promptly withdraw advertisements for sold units is essential for maintaining accurate records in commercial transactions.
