SB 125 Summary

  • Requires motor vehicle dealers' advertised prices to include all dealer fees and costs except government-imposed fees (licensing, registration, title transfer, sales taxes).

  • Restricts dealers from advertising manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) comparisons that imply consumer savings, unless the comparison explicitly references savings from MSRP.

  • Establishes requirements for used vehicle price comparisons to reference only nationally recognized valuation publications, with source identification provided to buyers.

  • Allows dealers to deliver vehicles before financing approval only with a separate written agreement disclosing financing status and terms; voids the sale if financing terms are changed.

  • Permits buyers who made intentional misrepresentations in credit applications to be charged for mileage exceeding 100 miles (at federal IRS rate or $0.45 per mile) and responsible for vehicle damage and related fees incurred during possession.
