Section 12.2.13.6 - OBJECTIVE

Universal Citation: 12 NM Admin Code 12.2.13.6

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 6, March 26, 2024

A. The purpose of this rule is to accomplish two principal objectives:

(1) deter unfair business practices in the sale of motor vehicles that result in economic harm, and

(2) provide clear legal standards for the sale of motor vehicles where the sale of the vehicle is contingent upon approval of financing of the vehicle.

B. The attorney general's office has received numerous complaints from consumers where the motor vehicle dealer asserts that the transaction is contingent upon financing of the vehicle or approval of financing, but where adequate disclosure of this contingency is not made in a timely manner, where the dealer asserts the right to cancel the contract based on a failure of this contingency or right to unilaterally renegotiate the terms of the sale, or where the dealer sells the consumer's trade-in vehicle prior to confirmation of financing and finalization of the transaction thus converting the use and possession of the consumer's trade-in vehicle.
