What limitation exists regarding the issuance of Temporary Supplemental Licenses for off-site sales?

The limitation regarding the issuance of Temporary Supplemental Licenses for off-site sales is that only 8 sales can occur in a year. This restriction is in place to ensure that dealerships do not overly rely on off-site sales, which could reduce the necessary regulatory oversight and consumer protections that come with traditional dealership operations.

By limiting the number of off-site sales, the Virginia MVDB aims to maintain a balance between providing flexibility for dealers to reach customers and enforcing guidelines that safeguard both the consumer and the integrity of the automotive sales industry. This limit encourages dealers to primarily conduct their business on-site, where they are more accountable and can deliver better service.

Options that suggest a different number of allowable sales, such as 5, 10, or no limitations, fail to align with the established regulations issued by the Virginia MVDB regarding Temporary Supplemental Licenses, which specifically authorize up to 8 off-site sales annually.
