What is the maximum time a customer can use dealer plates on a dealer's car while considering a purchase?

The maximum time a customer can use dealer plates on a dealer's car while considering a purchase is indeed five days. This regulation is in place to ensure that potential buyers can take the vehicle for a reasonable test drive and assess whether it meets their needs without the pressure of immediate purchase. This time frame strikes a balance between allowing customers sufficient opportunity to evaluate the vehicle and ensuring that dealer plates are not misused for prolonged purposes unrelated to the purchase process.

Within this context, options representing shorter or longer trial periods do not align with the guidelines established by regulatory authorities. For example, three days might be too brief for a customer to fully evaluate the vehicle, while seven or ten days would extend beyond the reasonable limits defined for the use of dealer plates in this scenario. By adhering to the five-day limit, both customers and dealers function within a framework that promotes fair business practices.
