What is the FTC Buyer's Guide?

The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Used Car Rule requires dealers to display a Buyer's Guide on every used vehicle offered for sale. This guide must clearly state whether the vehicle is sold "as-is" or with a warranty, and what percentage of repair costs the dealer will pay.

The Buyer's Guide becomes part of the sales contract. Failure to display it can result in FTC penalties up to $50,120 per violation.
