How long may a prospective purchaser use the dealer’s license plates?

A prospective purchaser may use the dealer’s license plates for up to 5 days, and this period can be renewed once. This provision is in place to allow potential buyers to test drive a vehicle and assess whether it meets their needs before committing to the purchase. The ability to renew the use of these plates provides flexibility for buyers who may require additional time for decision-making or who may want to drive the vehicle for a longer period to gauge its performance and features.

While other options suggest either shorter timeframes or differing renewal policies, state regulations typically set this standardized period of 5 days with one renewal to ensure compliance with both convenience for buyers and proper use of dealer license plates. This helps in regulating vehicle usage under a dealer's license while protecting the interests of both the dealership and the prospective purchaser.
