                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUPPLEMENTAL SALES LOCATIONS (§ 46.2-1516)

The Board may issue a license for a licensed motor vehicle dealer to display for
sale or sell vehicles at locations other than his established place of business,
subject to compliance with local ordinances and requirements. A license issued
pursuant to this section shall not be required for a licensed motor vehicle
dealer to display for sale or sell vehicles at wholesale auction; placing
vehicles for sale at a wholesale auction shall not be considered a consignment.
		A permanent supplemental license may be issued for premises less than 500
yards from the dealer&#8217;s established place of business, provided a sign is
displayed as required for the established place of business. A supplemental
license shall not be required for premises otherwise contiguous to the
established place of business except for a public thoroughfare.
		A temporary supplemental license may be issued for a period not to exceed
seven days, or 14 days for trailers and motorcycles, provided that the
application is made 15 days prior to the sale. The Board shall not issue a
temporary supplemental license (i) for the same jurisdiction for a consecutive
seven-day period or (ii) for motorcycles for a consecutive 14-day period. The
Board shall not issue more than eight supplemental licenses per year to any
licensed motor vehicle dealer.
		A temporary supplemental license for the sale of new motor vehicles may be
issued only for locations within the dealer&#8217;s area of responsibility, as
defined in his franchise or sales agreement, unless proof is provided that all
dealers in the same line-make in whose areas of responsibility, as defined in
their franchise or sales agreements, where the temporary supplemental license is
sought do not oppose the issuance of the temporary license.
		A temporary supplemental license for sale of used motor vehicles may be issued
only for the county, city, or town in which the dealer is licensed pursuant to
§ 46.2-1510, or for a contiguous county, city, or town. Temporary licenses may
be issued without regard to the foregoing geographic restrictions where the
dealer operating under a temporary license provides notice by certified mail, at
least 30 days before any proposed sale under a temporary license, to all other
dealers licensed in the jurisdiction in which the sale will occur of the intent
to conduct a sale and permits any locally licensed dealer who wishes to do so to
participate in the sale on the same terms as the dealer operating under the
temporary license. Any locally licensed dealer who chooses to participate in the
sale must obtain a temporary supplemental license for the sale pursuant to this
section. The dealer operating under a temporary license shall provide to the
Board a copy of the notice required under this section and a list of the dealers
to whom the notice was distributed. A temporary supplemental license for sale of
used motor vehicles that are late model vehicles as defined by § 46.2-1600 at a
new motor vehicle show that is sponsored by a statewide or local trade
association of franchised dealers and held within the geographic area of the
dealer members of such association may be issued without regard to the foregoing
geographic restrictions or notification and approval provisions, provided that
the applicant is lawfully participating in such new motor vehicle show.
		A temporary supplemental license may be issued for the sale of boat trailers
at a boat show. Any such license shall be valid for no more than 14 days.
Application for such a license shall be made and such license obtained prior to
the opening of the show. Temporary supplemental licenses for sale of boat
trailers at boat shows may be issued for any boat show located anywhere in the
Commonwealth without notification of or approval by other boat trailer dealers.
