Rules to know in North Carolina

Used cars sold in the United States fall under the FTC’s Used Car Rule, so every used vehicle needs a Buyers Guide. Advertised prices, payments and rates need their full disclosures, and email follows the CAN-SPAM Act. Check North Carolina’s rules too; states can add their own. The guide to advertising payments, rates and leases covers the disclosures to include.
