When is a licensed salesperson permitted to purchase a vehicle with their own funds?

A licensed salesperson is not permitted to purchase a vehicle with their own funds at any time. This regulation is in place to prevent potential conflicts of interest and ensure that the salesperson acts in the best interest of the dealership and its customers. Salespersons are expected to conduct their transactions through the dealer they represent to maintain ethical standards and comply with legal requirements.

The restriction on personal purchases helps uphold fairness and integrity in the sales process by eliminating opportunities for misconduct, such as manipulating vehicle prices or leveraging their position for personal gain. This ensures that all transactions are conducted transparently and within the established guidelines of the dealership's operations.
