How a Dealer Sale Van Sale Works in Oregon

Seller responsibilities

Licensed dealers are required by the FTC Used Car Rule (16 CFR Part 455) to display a Buyers Guide sticker on every used vehicle offered for sale. This sticker discloses whether the vehicle is sold "as-is" or with a warranty, and what systems are covered. Dealers must also collect and remit applicable state sales tax on the transaction.

What buyers need to know

Buyers purchasing from a licensed dealer may have access to state lemon law protections, depending on whether the dealer offered a warranty. The implied warranty of merchantability under UCC applies unless the dealer specifically disclaims it in the Buyers Guide. Request a copy of the Buyers Guide, any warranty documentation, and vehicle inspection reports.

Legal requirements in Oregon

Dealer-generated bills of sale often include additional disclosures beyond a private party document. The document must identify the dealer's license number in most states. Financing through the dealer triggers Truth in Lending Act (TILA) disclosure requirements, including APR, total finance charge, and payment schedule.
