Does the Used Car Rule apply to ALL vehicles regardless of their weight?

The Used Car Rule does not apply to all vehicles regardless of their weight. Specifically, it is tailored to protect consumers in the purchase of used motor vehicles, but certain types of vehicles are excluded from its requirements. This includes heavier vehicles, such as those over 10,000 pounds, which are generally classified as commercial vehicles.

The primary purpose of the Used Car Rule is to ensure transparency in the selling process by requiring disclosures about the vehicle's condition and history. Since the rule is designed for typical consumer purchases and mainly reflects standard passenger vehicles, it does not cover all vehicles indiscriminately. This distinction is important for understanding the scope of consumer protection laws in the auto industry.
