What must remain on a new motor vehicle until it is sold to the ultimate purchaser?

The Monroney label, also known as the window sticker, is a mandatory label that must remain affixed to a new motor vehicle until it is sold to the ultimate purchaser. This label provides important information about the vehicle, including the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), the fuel economy ratings, and a list of standard and optional equipment. It is designed to promote transparency and ensure that potential buyers have access to vital specifications and pricing details before making their purchase decision.

Keeping the Monroney label intact until the sale ensures that all consumers receive the same information, which is essential for making informed comparisons among different vehicles. The presence of the Monroney label also helps to prevent deceptive pricing practices by requiring that all dealerships disclose factual pricing and vehicle specifications as required by federal law.

The other options, although important in their own contexts, do not have the same legal requirement to remain on the vehicle until sold.
