1. (a) There shall be a minimum period of ten (10) days between the day the VAVR enterprise operator provides a description of a vehicle to the local district and the day a DMV Registration 42 form (Report to Dismantler) is transmitted to the DMV for the vehicle. During this period, if any person contacts the enterprise operator and indicates an interest in purchasing the vehicle, the enterprise operator shall hold the vehicle for a minimum of an additional seven (7) days. During this extended waiting period, the enterprise operator shall arrange for the interested party to examine the vehicle and, if appropriate, negotiate the sale of the vehicle or any of its parts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section places the enterprise operator under any obligation to hold the vehicle for an interested party that has missed two or more prior appointments to examine any vehicle, or sell the vehicle or any of its parts if a mutually acceptable price cannot be negotiated.

   1. (1) The enterprise operator will submit to the local district a description of the vehicle including, at a minimum, the vehicle make, model year, and first eight characters of the VIN. The district will, in turn, make this information available to an appropriate segment of the public. The intent is to allow interested third parties, including car collector enthusiasts and those interested in affordable transportation, an opportunity to examine the car and to negotiate with the enterprise operator the purchase of the vehicle or any of its parts according to Section 2606.
   2. (2) Entire vehicles and/or parts may be sold prior to entry into the program; however, no emission reduction credits shall be granted for any vehicle resold to the public in this manner according to Section 2606.
