Is a dealer required to purchase dealer license plates?

A dealer is not required to purchase dealer license plates, but they have the option to do so if they find it beneficial for their operations. This flexibility allows dealers to choose whether to invest in dealer plates based on their business needs, inventory, and the nature of their dealership activities.

Dealer license plates can offer advantages, such as facilitating the movement of inventory and providing ease during test drives and vehicle transport. However, the law does not mandate their acquisition, recognizing that different dealership models may operate without the need for such plates.

In contrast, the other options impose requirements that do not align with the standards set for dealers. The idea that it is mandatory or dependent solely on the number of employees does not reflect the regulations accurately, reinforcing the concept that the purchase of dealer license plates is an option rather than an obligation.
