Which of the following is a step a dealer can take to avoid selling vehicles to curbsiders?

1. Check the garage register looking for individual buyers of multiple vehicles

2. Establish a zero-tolerance policy

3. Register the vehicle in the buyer's name

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

A curbsider is an unlicensed or illegally operating car dealer who poses as a private seller. These individuals often sell cars that have been previously damaged or are not in good condition, putting buyers at risk. To avoid selling vehicles to curbsiders, dealers can take the following steps - Check the garage register, as curbsiders often purchase multiple vehicles and may appear as private buyers. - Establish a zero-tolerance policy towards curbsiding and educate staff on how to spot potential curbsiders. - Register the vehicle in the buyer's name, as curbsiders often try to falsely register vehicles to make it seem like they are the legitimate owners. By implementing all of these steps, dealers can better protect themselves and their customers from curbsiders.
