There are three exceptions to the new vehicle requirement:
- Unwind vehicle – The sale/lease was not consummated and buyer never took delivery
- Rollback vehicle - Returned to a dealership shortly after being purchased/leased
- Unregistered dealership floor model and test drive vehicles
These vehicles must not have been previously registered and must have an odometer reading of less than 7,500 miles. Additional documentation and/or written dealership verification will be requested at the time of application review to determine if a vehicle meets a new vehicle exception.
In cases of eligible rollbacks and unwinds, a Used Vehicle Dealer Notice/Temporary Identification may be submitted accompanied by the associated statement of facts. The dealership must verify in advance that the vehicle has not been previously rebated. Additional documentation for the vehicle status as a rollback or unwind may be required. Vehicles that already received a rebate are not eligible for another rebate, unless the full amount of the original rebate was returned.
