Virginia MVDBs recent action on TrueCar should as act as a frame of reference for sister state regulators in Maryland

Last weeks action by the Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board signing off as it did on TrueCars revised business model as a new vehicle sale generator for dealers should provide a useful frame of reference for Maryland MVA regulators such that TrueCars current approach to the market has been found to no longer present the dealer licensing problems it did earlier this year as a bird dog law violation. MVA, of course, will need to speak for itself with respect to Marylands anti-bird dog law, which, like Virginia, provides that merchant sales of vehicles only be done through licensed dealerships operating with licensed sales representatives. As with all motor vehicle law matters, WANADA in tandem with MADA stands ready to work cooperatively with MVA on this issue.
