As an auto dealer, should I take a tampered vehicle as a customer trade-in for a new vehicle?
NO, because the trade-in transaction is considered a sale and this act would violate the anti-tampering law. If a customer offers you a tampered vehicle in trade, you should tell the customer that the tampered emissions systems must be repaired prior to accepting the vehicle. You may offer to repair the vehicle, if you have the ability to do the necessary repairs, and work out the repair costs as part of the trade-in agreement.
