What is commonly referred to as "curbstoning" in the motor vehicle industry?

Curbstoning refers to the practice of selling vehicles without holding a dealer's license. This illegal activity typically involves individuals who may buy cars at auctions or from private sellers and then resell them to the public without following proper licensing regulations. It poses risks to consumers since these sellers often do not provide warranties or clear titles, and they might also avoid adhering to state regulations that protect buyers. Engaging in this kind of selling can be detrimental not only to the trustworthiness of the transaction but also harms the overall integrity of the vehicle sales industry.
