What should you display in the window?
If you are selling used motor vehicles, you must display a Consumer Information Notice (CIN). If you are selling at your premises, you do this by attaching a copy of the CIN in the car window. if you are selling online, you display it next to the advert.
The Commerce Commission enforces the requirements relating to CINs and can investigate complaints. Failure to display a CIN on a used motor vehicle is an infringement offence under the Fair Trading Act. The Commerce Commission can issue a fine for each offence or take you to court.
There are rules about how to display the CIN, as well as rules about giving a consumer a copy of the CIN if they agree to buy the used motor vehicle. Have a look at the FAQs on the Commerce Commission’s website and read the motor vehicle dealer fact sheet which includes all the information you need to comply with the Fair Trading Act.
