Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Transportation › Chapter Trans 138 - Dealer Facilities, Records, And Licenses › Section Trans 138.01 - Authority, purpose and scope

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) As authorized
			 by ss.
			 85.16(1),
			 218.0152,
			 and
			 227.11(2),
			 Stats., the purpose of this chapter is to interpret ss.
			 218.0101(6) and (23)
			 (a),
			 218.0114(14)
			 (a),
			 218.0116(1)
			 (om), (3), and (5),
			 218.0119,

			 218.30,
			 218.32(2)
			 and (4) (c),

			 341.51(3),
			 and
			 342.16(2),
			 Stats., relating to the activities defining a motor vehicle dealer, wholesale
			 dealer, and motor vehicle auction dealer, and exceptions thereto; the records
			 and facilities required of such dealers; and the business activities of motor
			 vehicle dealers during or after suspensions, revocations, denials or voluntary
			 surrenders of licenses.
(2) This
			 chapter pertains to any person applying for or holding a Wisconsin motor
			 vehicle dealer, motor vehicle wholesale dealer, or motor vehicle auction dealer
			 license.

			 to any dealer or salesperson who sells or leases a vehicle to a person within
			 the state of Wisconsin and delivers the vehicle within the boundaries of this
			 state notwithstanding any contractual agreement between the dealer or
			 salesperson and the person to the contrary.

			 interpret the definition of a motor vehicle dealer found in s.

			 that section's requirement that all motor vehicle dealers be licensed. The
			 definition of a dealer is intended to cover a broad range of business
			 activities relating to the sale of motor vehicles, yet it is also designed to
			 give limited exemptions and thus ensure flexibility for individuals and
			 businesses who wish to dispose of their private vehicles and provide
			 advertising or other general business services to dealers.

			 vehicle buyer license is not valid until the department receives a complete
			 application with applicable fees for the license on a form specified by the
			 department, the department approves the application in a manner determined by
			 the department, and the department issues a license to the applicant.

			 out-of-state dealer license or 12 months from the date the department issues
