While the agency dropped its enforcement action, it emphasized that ensuring price transparency in car sales remains a key focus. The move signals ongoing scrutiny of dealership pricing policies amid broader consumer protection efforts. Details of the settlement and the FTC’s broader enforcement strategy are still emerging.
