<p><span>Consignment selling is the process by which a licensed motor vehicle dealer agrees to sell a vehicle on behalf of a member of the public. The dealer then pays the former owner the sale proceeds less an agreed commission.</span></p>
<h2>Approval for consignment selling - change to dealers licence</h2>
<p>A dealer must be approved to sell motor vehicles on consignment. They must <a href="/publications/request-add-consignment-sales-category-e-motor-vehicle-dealers-licence">apply to have consignment sales (category E)</a> added to an existing licence and prove they have sufficient resources to meet the obligations of Category E.</p>
<h2><span>Obligations of consignment sellers</span></h2>
<p>Dealers selling vehicles by consignment have certain obligations towards both the consignor (owner of the vehicle) and other third parties, including potential buyers.</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><thead><tr><th scope="col">
<p><strong>Obligation</strong></p>
</th>
<th scope="col">
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
</th>
</tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>
<p>Carry out instructions</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>A dealer has a strict obligation to carry out the instructions of a consignor.</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td>
<p>Care, skill and diligence</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>In performing their actions as a dealer, a dealer must exercise care, skill and diligence.<br>
For example, if a dealer notices an issue with the vehicle that the consignor has not mentioned, the dealer must make enquiries to determine if it is a problem that will need to be disclosed to potential buyers.</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td>
<p>Best interests</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>A dealer has a duty to exercise their obligations and judgement in the best interest of the consignor.<br>
For example, a dealer cannot suggest a lower price than has been advertised to a potential buyer because a vehicle has been on the lot too long and the dealer is prepared to take a lower profit to make space.</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td>
<p>Conflicts (loyalty)</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>A dealer is not able to place their own interests, or anyone else’s, above the interests of the consignor.<br>
For example, a dealer cannot cancel a consignment contract prior to paying a consignor to avoid the requirement to use a trust account (and therefore avoid paying audit costs).</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td>
<p>Disclosure</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>A dealer must disclose to the consignor all pertinent information in regard to selling the vehicle.<br>
For example, a dealer must communicate all offers made for the vehicle.</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td>
<p>Delegation</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>A dealer is unable to delegate their power to act on behalf of the consignor to another party, unless the consignor provides authority for the dealer to do so.<br>
While a dealer’s employees (salespersons) can act on the dealer’s behalf, the dealer cannot contract a third party to undertake the sale.</p>
</td>
</tr></tbody></table><h2>Trust accounts</h2>
<p>A dealer who is planning to undertake consignment sales must ensure a consignment trust account is opened prior to accepting any vehicle on consignment.</p>
<p>Dealers should take particular notice of the requirements for payments into and out of the trust account. Management of trust accounts are covered in more detail on <a href="/consumer-protection/auditing-motor-vehicle-dealers-forms-and-publications">Auditing motor vehicle dealers</a> page. </p>
<h2>Consignment agreement (contracts)</h2>
<p>When entering into a consignment agreement with a member of the public, all contracts must be in writing and must contain all the below terms and conditions as required by the <a href="https://www.legislation.wa.gov.au/legislation/prod/filestore.nsf/FileURL/mrdoc_44522.pdf/$FILE/Motor%20Vehicle%20Dealers%20(Sales)%20Regulations%201974%20-%20%5B03-h0-00%5D.pdf?OpenElement">Motor Vehicle Dealers (Sales) Regulations 1974</a>. The Motor Trade Association of WA standard consignment contract conforms to these requirements.</p>
<p>The agreement must make it clear what the settlement or net return will be for the consignor (owner of the vehicle).</p>
<p>A dealer must give a copy of the consignment agreement to the consignor immediately after it is signed by all parties.</p>
<p>Under the agreement, a dealer cannot charge the consignor for pre-sale repairs unless they have the consignor's prior written consent. The dealer must pay for any warranty repairs, which cannot be charged back to the consignor.</p>
