Court Overturns FTC’s Auto Dealer Restrictions

In a significant legal development, a U.S. appeals court has nullified the Biden administration’s regulations intended to curtail deceptive sales tactics in the auto industry.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the Federal Trade Commission breached procedural regulations, halting rules that mandated upfront pricing.

This decision stalls the ongoing efforts until the legal disputes are resolved, affecting car buyers nationwide.
