What does 'dealership handles license plate registration' mean?
1 Answers
Handling license plate registration means the dealer collects the full payment from the customer in one go and takes care of all the procedures for vehicle registration. The payment includes: the vehicle price, vehicle purchase tax, car insurance, license plate registration fees, etc. This is also a current method of car sales. Below are detailed explanations: 1. The cost of handling license plate registration is higher than not handling it: Nowadays, when selling new cars, additional bundled items such as registration fees, financial service fees, compulsory insurance, and bundled accessories are common. For these additional consumption items, the 4S store requires customers to go through the 4S store for license plate registration, and buying the car is not possible without doing so. 2. The downside of bundled license plate registration: The most obvious harm of 4S stores bundling license plate registration is that it infringes on consumers' right to choose services independently. Whether to entrust the 4S store to register the purchased vehicle should be based on the principle of voluntary consumer choice. The 4S store charging consumers for license plate registration in a bundled manner constitutes forced consumption.
