Section 239-104-8 - REBATES
Current through 2025-13, March 26, 2025
A. Rebate offers. The terms "rebate", "cash rebate", or similar terms can be used only when payment of money will be made by the dealer or manufacturer to a purchaser after the sale or the amount will be credited to the purchaser at the time of sale.
B. Rebate availability. If an advertisement states that a motor vehicle is offered at a specified price which "includes all rebates," the rebates must only include those for which a substantial majority of customers will qualify - all others must be separately stated.
C. Inflated price. If the advertised price of the motor vehicle has been increased to offset the rebate in part or in whole, this information must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in the ad.
