DMV RED PRIOR HISTORY STICKERS

$ 45. FOR A SET OF 50

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2012

+++++

The implementation of this new salvage law in California is important because it’s a crime to willingly sell a used car under fraudulent grounds.

It’s tantamount to theft of a consumer’s money.

The U.S. Department of Justice says preventing salvage title fraud will save between $4.3 billion and $11.7 billion.

According to a legislative analysis of the new law,

it was the intent of the California legislature to ensure that every motor vehicle dealer licensed in the state

obtain a NMVTIS vehicle history report for every used vehicle that will be offered for retail sale

and that any used vehicle that has been titled or reported as salvage or junk

as indicated by the NMVTIS vehicle history report be identified as such.

California is in full compliance with NMVTIS as are 87% of motor vehicle departments across the country.

There’s one more thing to keep in mind.

Not all salvage titled used cars are automatically a bad deal.

Have an independent auto mechanic inspect the vehicle.

It could end up being a good deal as it has been for some,

especially if you are mechanically inclined.

DEALER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Applicants applying for a used dealer or dealer-wholesale only must attend a dealer education program and pass a written examination administered by the Department of Motor Vehicles before submitting their application (11704.5 CVC).
The purpose of this program is to ensure that applicants are aware of the laws and regulations governing the operation of a used vehicle dealership in California.
• What is a Dealer Education Provider?
A dealer education program provider is a private vendor who has been authorized by the DMV to instruct potential applicants for a used vehicle dealer license on laws and regulations governing the operation of a used vehicle dealership in California. Dealer Education Provider’s are listed on our website at:

www.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/ol/dlr_edu_provider.htm

The test consists of 40 questions and must be passed with at least 70%
accuracy.

You must present your original completion certiicate, issued by the provider, and your current California driver’s license or California identiication card to take the test.
NOTE: Completion certiicates issued for completion of approved dealer education programs will be valid for submission with new dealer license applications for a period of only one year from the date of program completion
(268.08[b] CA Code of Regulations).
• Is there a charge to take the test?
Yes, you will be charged $16 to take the test. If you do not pass, you may retake the test after a seven (7) day waiting period.You will be charged $16 each time the test is taken.
• What if I can’t pass the test?
If, after three attempts, you cannot pass the test, you will be referred to the education provider listed on your completion certiicate to determine if additional training is needed.
• Can I submit my application before attending the dealer education class?
Applications for a used vehicle dealer’s license will not be accepted by the department without proof of completion of the used dealer education program and proof of successfully passing the examination or proof of being licensed as a vehicle dealer within the past 36 months.
• Where can I obtain application forms?
You may call at (916) 229-3126 or download the application from the Internet at www.dmv.ca.gov

How to Read an Extended Warranty Contract

There are as many variations in warranty contracts as there are car models to choose from. Here are some of the important areas one needs to look at before choosing a warranty vendor.

Administrator
The Administrator is the company who is responsible for paying claims. This company is often not the company selling you the warranty. It is important to check into the Administrator’s background and financial history. Check their Better Business Bureau record and run searches on Yahoo.com to see what consumers are saying about them. Ask them how long they have been in business. Find out if they sell coverage only on the Internet or also provide coverages to car dealers, banks, credit unions and manufacturers. Many consumer oriented web sites recommend purchasing directly from the Administrator.

Failure / Mechanical Breakdown
These terms will define what types of claims a warranty will cover. Better plans will cover wear-and-tear failures. Look for contracts that use the term Failure and define it as covering parts that break as well as those that wear out.

Lesser coverages will only cover mechanical breakdowns. You will often find clauses such as, “the gradual reduction in operating performance is not covered” in these types of contracts. While their cost will often be lower, so too is the coverage they offer.

What is Wear and Tear coverage?
Wear and tear protection is the highest level of coverage one can purchase. It is a much broader level of coverage than the mechanical breakdown only plans offered elsewhere. Many extended warranties define “mechanical breakdown” as a defect in parts and workmanship as supplied by the manufacturer, or a defect that makes the part unable to perform the function for which it was designed. Often, they will state that the gradual reduction in operating performance (wear-and-tear) is not covered. Service contracts that exclude wear and tear will not cover repairs needed because a part’s performance has gradually deteriorated because of normal wear and tear, unless a mechanical breakdown has occurred.

The more miles on a car when a repair becomes necessary, the more likely it is that the repair will be needed because a part wore out, rather than because the part broke due to poor manufacturing. Before buying an extended warranty, you should carefully review what is covered and not covered to see whether wear and tear claims are excluded from coverage. That way, if it is not clear whether a repair is needed due to a manufacturing defect or simple wear and tear, it is more likely that the service contract company will pay for the repair. It is a mistake to assume that a repair agreement will cover every repair your car may need.

Where Can Repairs be Made? How Are Claims Paid?
Better extended warranties will allow you to choose the dealer or repair facility that performs repairs on your car. Some warranties will require that you only use the dealer where the coverage was purchased or locations that participate in their program. Many extended warranties will pay your dealer or repair facility for repairs over the phone via their corporate credit card while others will require that you pay for repairs and wait to be reimbursed.

What is Not Covered?
All extended warranties will have a list of Exclusions or things that are not covered under the warranty contract. Many of the exclusions are standard across warranty agreements but there are some that one should be aware of. Many common breakdowns can be hidden in the exclusions section of a warranty contract.

Here are some common exclusions you should be on the look out for:

• Damage caused by overheating
• You must maintain your vehicle according to the severe requirements of your manufacturer (that can double your maintenance costs)
• Burned/worn valves/guides, valve grinding, worn rings and burned pistons are not covered. (These are classic wear and tear failures)
• Any covered part that has not failed. This includes seepage of seals and gaskets.
• The gradual reduction in operating performance is not covered.

It is recommended that you read a warranty contract prior to purchasing your coverage. Don’t accept a brochure as it will only provide general information. Reputable companies will provide you with copies of the contract to review prior to purchasing. Many of them will publish their contracts on their web sites.

What’s a VIN?
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is the 17-character identifier for your car, truck, or motorcycle. It looks like this: 1VXBR12EXCP901213, and encodes the vehicle’s manufacturer, features, and serial number. No two vehicles have the same VIN, so it serves as your car’s fingerprint– this allows for all reports of accidents, title problems, insurance incidents, and more to be tracked through each vehicle’s VIN.

Through VinAudit.com, you can look up records associated with your VIN instantly:

Where can I find my VIN?
You can find your vehicle’s VIN in the title document, the vehicle registration, and on the insurance policy. The VIN could also be located at the following locations on the car itself:

On the driver’s side dashboard (viewable through the windshield) On the driver’s side door (on a sticker in the door jamb)

About Extended Warranty Insurance Coverage

This type of coverage is a must have for any car purchase, as the car’s value drops significantly as soon as it is driven off the car lot. Extended Warranty insurance is not required when you buy a new car, but in the case of a major failure, this type of coverage can protect your investment. More and more auto insurance companies are starting to offer extended warranty insurance. In fact, many states now require that all companies who sell auto insurance also offer this additional coverage. If your current company does not offer extended warranty auto insurance, you can often purchase it from a company as an independent policy.
