NJ CAR is pleased to announce that the first annual Used Vehicle Sales & Compliance Workshop has been scheduled for June 8, 2017, and will be presented by ACV Auctions, Inc. and NJ CAR Services, Inc. Earlier this year, the Coalition partnered with ACV Auctions to provide participating members with an Online, On Demand Live Auction Program (See 4/18/2017 Newsletter/ Bulletin No. 7), which has been well-received by the membership. NJ CAR Services, an affiliate of NJ CAR, offers a variety of business forms, advertising specialty items and logo wear to New Jersey dealers.
This event will be held on Thursday, June 8, 2017, at the Holiday Inn Clark (Exit 135 of the Garden State Parkway).
The Workshop is designed for GMs, GSMs and Used Car Managers. This half-day event will provide attendees with both valuable information and additional resources to improve sales and make sure their Used Vehicle Department is compliant with: recent changes to the FTC Used Car Rule and the FTC Buyers Guide; New Jersey’s used vehicle price labeling requirements; and the State’s requirements for mandatory warranties for used vehicles; when they can be waived and when/how used vehicles can be sold “as-is.
