DEALER RECORDS (§ 46.2-1529)

All dealer records regarding employees; lists of vehicles in inventory for sale,
resale, or on consignment; vehicle purchases, sales, trades, and transfers of
ownership; collections of taxes; titling, uninsured motor vehicle, and

registration plates assigned to the dealer and temporary transport plates and

All dealer records shall be preserved in original form or in film, magnetic, or
optical media, including microfilm, microfiche, or other electronic media, for a
period of five years in a manner that permits systematic retrieval. Certain
records may be maintained on a computerized record-keeping system with the prior
approval of the Board.
