(268.08[b] CA Code of Regulations).

• Can I submit my application before attending the dealer education class?
Applications for a used vehicle dealer’s license will not be accepted by the department without proof of completion of the used dealer education program and proof of successfully passing the examination or proof of being licensed as a vehicle dealer within the past 36 months.

Most new vehicles purchased these days come with a warranty – this is an agreement between the manufacturer and the customer that should anything break, malfunction, or otherwise go wrong with the vehicle within a certain period of time (typically 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first), then the manufacturer will repair or replace the component at no cost to the customer. Vehicle service agreements (also known as extended warranty plans) are designed to offer similar peace of mind by literally extending the length of time a customer can expect to receive such coverage. Just because a company claims to offer extended auto warranty coverage doesn’t mean that you can expect ultimate exclusionary protection. Some plans available in the market cover only catastrophic failures, or only certain systems. By being informed about extended auto warranties and reputable warranty companies, you’ll be better prepared to make the right decision for your needs. Call SUSAN to offer extended warranty coverage within your dealership 951-642-9709

It goes without saying that the purchase of a new car requires the purchase of auto insurance. If you finance your new vehicle, almost every car dealership will also try to sell you a Guaranteed Auto Protection, or GAP, policy for your new vehicle. If the vehicle is totaled, gap insurance will pay off the remainder of the loan after your auto insurance pays the estimated value of the vehicle.Function
The cost for a gap insurance policy depends on several factors. Insurance companies take into consideration the vehicle being covered and the purchase price when quoting a policy. The price range for a gap insurance policy is typically between $300 and $800. Potential buyers can get quotes from their auto insurance company, the dealership and insurance companies that specialize in gap protection to find the best price. Getting quotes from other companies also helps you negotiate the dealership’s gap insurance cost.
Gap insurance typically extends through the life of the loan. If the loan is a 5-year loan, then the gap insurance is valid for 5 years. There is no need for gap insurance after the loan has been paid off in full. Most gap insurance policies have a clause stating it will not cover a loan term longer than 84 months. Policies that are paid for upfront at the dealership are usually canceled automatically once the loan is paid off. Other gap insurance policies, especially those that require a monthly fee for coverage, may not automatically cancel coverage after the loan term.
Gap insurance is financial protection for the owner. It is very common for you to owe more money on the auto loan than the car’s estimated worth. This is because the loan includes taxes, fees and interest. The value of a car also tends to depreciate quickly. If the car is totaled before the loan is paid off, it is very likely that you will be responsible for a portion of the loan that regular insurance does not cover. Gap insurance prevents you from paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for a car you no longer have.
Like other forms of insurance, gap insurance will only pay off the auto loan if the agreement terms are met. Terms vary among policies but almost always require the owner to hold both comprehensive and collision insurance on the vehicle. Gap insurance does not replace auto insurance. The cost for gap insurance may not be worthwhile to owners who put a large down payment on their vehicle or purchased a car that has a high resale value.
