Question 1
How does the Highway Traffic Act's licensing requirement under section 59(1) for dealing in motor vehicles apply to a person already registered as a motor vehicle dealer under the MVDA?
Correct answer: A
Section 59(2) of the Highway Traffic Act expressly carves MVDA-registered dealers out of the section 59(1) licensing regime. Registration under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002 replaces the need for a separate Highway Traffic Act garage or storage licence.

Question 2
When does an ad for a used vehicle have to expressly state that the vehicle is used?
Correct answer: A
Section 36(6) of O. Reg. 333/08 triggers the explicit "used" disclosure only when the ad discloses a model year that is the current or immediately previous model year. Older model years do not trigger this specific labelling rule, though general false-advertising and contract-disclosure obligations still apply.

Question 3
Under section 13 of the Sale of Goods Act, a buyer's right to have and enjoy quiet possession of the goods is what kind of implied term?
Correct answer: A
Clause 13(b) of the Sale of Goods Act expressly classifies the buyer's right to quiet possession as an implied warranty, which is a different category from an implied condition (breach of a warranty gives damages, not a right to reject the goods).

From Curbsiders
Question 4
Under section 32(4) of the MVDA, what is the minimum fine on conviction for acting as an unregistered motor vehicle dealer (curbsiding) contrary to section 4(1)?
Correct answer: C
Section 32(4) of the MVDA sets a minimum fine of $5,000 on conviction for an offence under section 4(1). This is a statutory floor, so a court cannot impose a smaller fine even on a first-time curbsider; the maximum is set separately by section 32(3).

Question 5
In the context of an OMVIC-registered dealer's obligations, what does it mean for a vehicle to have "clear title"?
Correct answer: B
OMVIC's accreditation course defines clear title as a vehicle with no liens against it. A dealer must deliver clear title before completing a sale, which is why a lien search is part of vehicle research.

Question 6
Which of the following best describes the MVDA's prohibition on false advertising by registrants?
Correct answer: A
Section 28 of the MVDA prohibits any registrant from making false, misleading, or deceptive statements in any advertisement, circular, pamphlet, or material published by any means relating to trading in motor vehicles. The rule has no medium-based or content-based carve-out.

Question 7
A dealer takes a customer's financed car as a trade-in and agrees to pay out the remaining lien. According to OMVIC, when must the dealer make that payment?
Correct answer: C
OMVIC requires dealers to pay out the trade-in lien immediately, not on a delayed timeline. Failing to pay it out right away (or selling a vehicle that still has a lien) can result in suspension or revocation of the dealer's registration.

Question 8
Where can an OMVIC inspector enter and inspect during an inspection of a registrant?
Correct answer: A
Section 15(1) of the MVDA lets the registrar (or someone the registrar designates in writing) enter and inspect a registrant's business premises at any reasonable time, but expressly excludes any part of the premises used as a dwelling.

Question 9
When a dealer advertises a price for a motor vehicle, what must that price represent?
Correct answer: A
Section 36(7) of O. Reg. 333/08 requires the advertised price to be set out as the total of what a buyer would have to pay plus all other charges related to the trade, including freight, pre-delivery inspection, fees, levies, and taxes (with a narrow carve-out for clearly identified sales taxes under s. 36(10)).

Question 10
A registered dealer's inventory is subject to a perfected floorplan security interest held by the dealer's lender. A retail customer buys a vehicle off the lot in the ordinary course of the dealer's business and is told at signing that the floorplan lien exists. Under section 28 of the Personal Property Security Act, does the customer take the vehicle subject to the floorplan lender's interest?
Correct answer: C
Subsection 28(1) of the Personal Property Security Act protects a buyer who buys goods from a seller in the ordinary course of business. The buyer takes free of a security interest given by that seller even though it is perfected and even if the buyer knew about it. The protection only fails if the buyer also knew the sale itself breached the security agreement.
