VA Motor Vehicle Board Sets Guidelines for Offsite Vehicle Display
The Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board (MVDB) and its committees met September 14, 2009, to consider a proposal concerning display of vehicles at malls, airports, and similar venues. The Board very clearly wanted to allow this practice to continue. However, it also wanted to avoid offsite selling activities. Therefore, it strictly limited the circumstances under which offsite displays can take place. The MVDB adopted the following guidelines:
The vehicle should not be clearly visible from a public roadway
Advertising on the vehicle should be limited to the MSRP sticker and any Buyers Guide or a MSRP-like sticker and Buyers Guide for used vehicles
The price of the vehicle should not be displayed other than on the MSRP or MSRP-like sticker
Other than the permissible sticker, there should be no advertising written or displayed on the vehicle
