• Can I trust a dealer's service records when buying a used car?

  • Reports and Records > Vehicle Records

  Due Diligence The issue when buying a used car is to take trust out of the equation. You should only trust yourself to do your due diligence before spending a lot of money on a used car, which involves obtaining as much information about the used car as possible. Dealer service records are an important part of any used car due diligence. What Service Records Show Service records tell you whether a used car was properly maintained over the years and whether it is prone to mechanical failure. Poorly maintained used cars and cars that are prone to mechanical failure will likely end up costing you dearly down the road. We’d like to think that everyone is honest and that you can trust everything someone presents about a used car. But we know this isn’t always the case. Most dealer..

  California Auto Dealers Handbooks The CA DMV has two different car dealer handbooks you’ll need to download. They are: The Vehicle Dealer Handbook. The Vehicle Industry Procedures Manual (This used to be called the Dealer’s Handbook.) You may also pick these up at a DMV office.

• Where can I get a car dealer handbook in FL?

  • Buying and Selling > Dealers And Salesperson > Car Dealers License

  Obtaining a FL Car Dealer Handbook That's a good question. The Florida car dealer handbook was never readily available, but the situation is a bit worse now. According to the DHSMV, a new car dealer handbook is being implemented. This means you can no longer download the dealer license handbook from the DHSMV site - at least, not until a new manual becomes available. Additionally, the car dealers handbook isn't available at DMV regional offices, either. So, your best (and perhaps only) option is to visit the Florida Independent Automobile Dealers Association (FIADA) site, and order a disc containing the manual for $35. If you're a FIADA member, you'll pay $25. Again, this will be for a disk - not a hard copy of the dealer license handbook. Why Get a FL Auto Dealers Handbook? This lengthy..
