FTC Finds Dealers Failed to Post Compliant Buyers Guides on Used Cars

4

The FTC conducted a multi-state audit, including metro New York, of used car dealers and new car dealers that sell used cars to assess compliance with the FTC Used Car Rule, which requires dealers to place a Used Car Buyers Guide on every used car offered for sale.

According to the FTC, many dealers were found not to have posted Buyers Guides at all while some failed to post the new amended version. Dealers who do not display the revised Buyers Guide on all used vehicles could face penalties of up to $41,484 per violation.

Dealers can purchase FTC-compliant USED CAR BUYERS GUIDES, in both English and Spanish, from GNYADA: ENGLISH: $27.50 for 200 guides SPANISH: $15.00 for 100 guides To order, call GNYADA at 718.746.5900.

5 Dealers Breathe Life into the Community

Assemblyman Raia noted on his Facebook page, “I was happy to present a proclamation to the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) for donating a brand-new CPR training mannequin to the Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps at Smithtown Toyota. The new mannequin will allow members of the Ambulance Corps to train and educate residents throughout the community on how to properly perform CPR, which will undoubtedly help save lives. A big thanks to the members of the Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the GNYADA for all they do for our community, and I look forward to building upon this partnership throughout the future!” Manikins are earmarked for future donations by Classic Audi, Paragon Honda, and Pepe Cadillac. If you are interested in getting involved in this

for the first donation. Senator Carl Marcellino and Assemblyman Andrew Raia attended Smithtown Toyota’s donation to the Volunteer Ambulance Corp. Senator Flanagan, in his press release about the donation said, “It was my pleasure to join with the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) and Smithtown Kia as they donated CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training manikins to the Nissequogue Fire Department. This donation will provide the NFD with an enhanced ability to train both their members and the residents they serve with the skills needed to render assistance to those in life threatening situations.”

GNYADA dealers continue to donate Resusci-Anne life-size manikins (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation training equipment) to local hospitals, YMCAs, volunteer EMTs, and fire departments in the metro NY region. These manikins are used to teach CPR skills to first responders and local residents. GNYADA, which facilitates the donations, has been involved in CPR donations for many years. The latest donations took place on Long Island on August 2. The recipients of the equipment were the Nissequogue Volunteer Fire Department and the Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corp. New York State Senator John Flanagan joined Steve Cannata, dealer principal of Smithtown Kia
