Whether you are stocking up for a massive franchise lot or an independent dealership, we provide a complete lineup of compliant buyers guide form options, exterior window stickers, and holder accessories designed to streamline your documentation, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance your showroom presentation.
What Is an FTC Buyers Guide?
An FTC buyers guide is a federally mandated disclosure document that must be visibly posted on every used vehicle offered for sale by a dealership. It clearly outlines whether a vehicle is being sold "As-Is" without a warranty or with an "Implied Warranty," detailing what percentage of repair costs the dealer will cover. Used car managers, sales directors, and compliance officers rely on accurate, weather-resistant used car buyers guide forms to communicate legally required information to customers, prevent hefty regulatory fines, and protect the dealership from post-sale liability disputes.
Key Benefits
-
Federal Compliance: Protect your dealership from thousands of dollars in regulatory fines by posting clearly formatted, fully legal used car buyers guide disclosures.
-
Customer Transparency: Clearly communicating warranty terms and "As-Is" conditions upfront builds immediate trust and eliminates friction during the closing process.
-
Lot Durability: Weatherproof exterior decals and UV-resistant document holders ensure your paperwork remains legible and intact through rain, snow, and harsh summer sun.
-
Process Efficiency: With laser-compatible formats and fast-mounting suction cup or clip-on holders, your lot attendants can prep frontline inventory quickly and consistently.
How to Choose the Right Product
-
Size Considerations: Most display holders and pouches are designed to fit standard 8.5" × 11" forms. However, if you use oversized forms or prefer not to fold your paperwork, opt for oversized fold-over holders or large 10" × 13.5" static cling sheets.
-
Application/Use Case: If you prefer keeping forms inside the cabin to protect them from weather, choose non-adhesive 2-part carbonless forms paired with a premium fold-over holder pouch. For high-visibility lot merchandising, select the exterior 4-side adhesive forms.
-
Performance Requirements: If you serve a large bilingual customer base, stocking the As-Is Spanish No Lines Exterior Buyers Guide ensures comprehensive transparency and performance in diverse markets.
-
Installation Considerations: For rapid deployment across hundreds of vehicles, clip-on window form holders require zero tools or adhesives—they simply hook securely over a rolled-up window.
-
Maintenance Requirements: If your dealership reuses document bags constantly, keep a bulk pack of heavy-duty silicone replacement suction cups on hand to quickly refresh aging, sun-baked holders without replacing the entire pouch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these buyers guides fully FTC compliant?
Yes. Our exterior buyers guides, including the Implied Warranty, Backer Only, As-Is Spanish, and 3-Part As-Is Combo models, are strictly designed to meet current Federal Trade Commission requirements for used vehicle disclosure forms.
Can the exterior forms be used safely on tinted windows?
Absolutely. These weather-resistant forms are designed to adhere securely to heavily tinted windows while remaining readable and durable, and they will not damage aftermarket tint films upon removal.
Do the exterior adhesive forms leave a sticky residue when removed?
No. The permanent adhesive holds strong against wind and weather during the vehicle's time on the lot but is specifically formulated to remove cleanly in one piece without leaving sticky residue behind.
Do I need adhesives to use the document holders?
No. The fold-over holders and static cling holder sheets are completely adhesive-free. Our clip-on holders use the vehicle's rolled-up window to secure the pouch in place, making them perfectly safe for all glass.
Can these forms be printed using a standard laser printer?
Yes. The exterior buyers guides and combo forms are formatted at standard 8.5" × 11" dimensions and are fully laser compatible for clean, professional, and fast in-house printing.
What size forms fit in the holders? The majority of our holders are specifically sized to fit standard 8.5" × 11" forms. The fold-over holders and static cling sheets are oversized to support larger documents without requiring you to fold or crease the paperwork.
Do you sell replacement suction cups for older document bags?
Yes. We carry heavy-duty silicone replacement suction cups that provide a universal fit for most standard holder bags, allowing you to extend the life of your existing display pouches.
