How long can a prospective purchaser use a dealer's license plates?

A prospective purchaser can use a dealer's license plates for a maximum of 5 days, with the option to renew once. This provision is designed to allow potential buyers to take a vehicle for test drives or other purposes while they finalize their decision to purchase. The renewable aspect is important, as it provides flexibility for buyers who might need a bit more time to make their choices or complete necessary paperwork.

Longer durations like 7 days or indefinite usage are not permissible under this regulation, as they could lead to misuse of dealer plates. Dealer plates are intended for vehicles that are for sale, and having a clear and limited timeframe ensures that they are not misappropriated for personal use outside of the purchase context.
