OMVIC Practice Test

What must a buyer receive if the dealer is unable to provide an itemized invoice at the time of sale?

1. A handwritten receipt

2. A duplicate of their contract

3. A promissory note

4. A temporary invoice

The correct answer is: A temporary invoice

If the dealer is unable to provide an itemized invoice at the time of sale, the buyer should receive a temporary invoice. This is because a temporary invoice can serve as proof of purchase and can be used for future reference or for warranty claims. A handwritten receipt may not provide enough information and may not be accepted by the dealer in the future. A duplicate of the contract does not serve as an invoice and a promissory note is a promise to pay, not a proof of payment or purchase. Therefore, a temporary invoice is the most suitable option in this situation.
