Which action is NOT considered a deceptive trade practice?

The action in which a seller discloses to the purchaser in writing prior to the sale that a vehicle is a salvage is not considered a deceptive trade practice. Transparency is crucial in the automotive industry, particularly regarding a vehicle’s history and condition. By providing clear written notice about the vehicle’s salvage status, the seller is ensuring that the buyer is fully informed before making a purchase decision. This aligns with ethical business practices and regulations aimed at protecting consumers from misinformation.

In contrast, failing to disclose a vehicle's accident history, misleading advertising about financing terms, and omitting details on the car's mileage involve withholding important information from the buyer, which can lead to misunderstandings and financial losses for the purchaser. Such actions can be viewed as deceptive because they do not allow the consumer to make a well-informed decision, thus violating trust and legal standards in trade practices.
