Federal regulators have issued new compliance guidance for car dealerships following an earlier crackdown on what they called six "illegal" advertising practices. The move comes as part of ongoing efforts to ensure transparency in pricing under federal consumer protection laws. Dealers are now being directed on how to properly advertise vehicle prices to avoid misleading consumers. The guidance follows warnings that some dealerships may have been violating long-standing advertising rules.
