Wisconsin Motor Vehicle Salesperson Manual Practice Test

When must you provide the name and address of the vehicle's previous owner to any prospective customer?

1. After the sale is completed

2. Upon request

3. During the vehicle inspection

4. During the test drive

The correct answer is: Upon request

The name and address of the vehicle's previous owner must be provided upon request by any prospective customer. This information is required for a potential buyer to be able to contact the previous owner and obtain important information about the vehicle's history and condition. It is important to have this information readily available for the customer to review before making a purchase decision. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not mention the requirement of providing this information specifically upon request. Option A suggests waiting until after the sale is completed, which may be too late for the customer to make an informed decision. Option C mentions providing the information during the vehicle inspection, but it should be available before the inspection to inform the customer about the vehicle's history. Option D mentions providing the information during the test drive, but it should be available before the test drive so the customer can thoroughly review it beforehand. Thus, option B is the correct answer as it directly addresses the timing for providing this important information to the customer.
