- a) It is an unfair or deceptive act to advertise any cash rebates, including, without limitation, a payment or an offset to a consumer or payment to a dealer or third party on behalf of the consumer on the condition that the consumer purchase or lease a motor vehicle, unless the rebate is funded solely by a manufacturer pursuant to a manufacturer's rebate program.
- b) It is an unfair or deceptive act to advertise a price or amount of an installment payment, wherein rebates have been deducted, unless every consumer seeking to purchase or lease the advertised vehicle is eligible for the rebate.
- c) The availability of a limited rebate may be advertised if the terms of the limitation are clearly and conspicuously disclosed. It is an unfair or deceptive act to advertise a price or amount of an installment payment in which limited rebates have been deducted, or to advertise a total amount of rebate if a portion of the total consists of a limited rebate.
