FTC Extends Used Car Rule Paperwork Burden for Three Years

## Summary

The Federal Trade Commission wants to keep its rules for used car dealers for three more years. These rules make sure dealers show a clear "Buyers Guide" on every used car, helping buyers make smart choices.

That clearance expires on February 28, 2026.
