Deberes de los concesionarios de vehículos en Virginia

Explicación Simple

Si alguien compra un carro usado que ya no sirve, debe decirle al gobierno que lo compró. Si lo desarma para piezas o lo destruye, tiene que avisar también para que cancelen los papeles del carro.

Ejemplo Práctico

Juan es un concesionario de autos que compró un carro que ya no sirve. Después de comprarlo, decide desarmarlo para vender las piezas. Juan rápidamente marca en el documento que el carro fue desarmado y manda esa información al Departamento para que cancelen los papeles del vehículo.
