What should a dealership provide when advertising a special offer on financing?

When advertising a special offer on financing, it is essential for a dealership to provide a clear breakdown of the financing terms. This transparency is important because it enables potential customers to understand the full scope of the offer, including interest rates, the length of the loan, monthly payment amounts, and any specific conditions that may apply. By providing comprehensive details, the dealership helps buyers make informed decisions and promotes trust in the dealership's practices.

Offering only the lowest possible payment option would not give potential buyers an accurate picture of the total cost of financing over time. While providing an estimate of taxes and fees or a copy of the dealership's terms may also be helpful, those aspects alone do not ensure that the financing terms are fully understood by prospective customers. A clear breakdown of financing terms is fundamental to responsible advertising and compliance with consumer protection laws.
