NJ CAR Compliance Forms Series: Prior Use Disclosure Form And Prior Use and Damage Disclosure Acknowledgment Form

Two of the most important and widely used forms in a dealership include the Prior Use Disclosure Form (Sample on page 37) and Prior Use and Damage Disclosure Acknowledgment Form. (Sample on page 36) These forms were developed by NJ CAR. The Prior Use Disclosure Form is used by dealers to disclose all possible prior uses of a vehicle, including use as a Company Vehicle/Factory Executive Vehicle (ex. Demonstration and Loaner vehicles), Program Vehicle/Factory Repurchase Vehicle, Rental Vehicle/Off-Lease Vehicle, and Wholesale Vehicle. If applicable, each disclosed use should be signed for by the customer.
