OAR 735-150-0035
Dealer Records

(1)

The original records required to be maintained by dealers pursuant to all applicable provisions of ORS Chapter 822 (Regulation of Vehicle Related Businesses) and OAR chapter 735, division 150 or documenting compliance with any of these provisions, must be maintained for a period of two (2) years on the premises of the main business location. Where a dealer has an additional (or supplemental) location pursuant to a valid supplemental certificate, all original records required to be maintained for that particular location must be maintained for two (2) years either at the main business location or at the additional (or supplemental) location, at the option of the dealer. For good cause shown or upon a showing of a business necessity, DMV, in its sole discretion, may authorize a dealer to maintain its dealer records at a location within the State of Oregon other than that required by this section.

(2)

In addition to the requirements described in section (1) of this rule, dealer records must be maintained for an additional three-year period in any location within the State of Oregon that is convenient for the dealer. During this three-year period the dealer may, at the dealer’s option, maintain the original dealer records or an exact copy of the original records in hard copy, on film, or electronically. If first approved by DMV, an exact copy of the dealer’s original records may be stored in some other manner during this three-year period.

(3)

Dealer records subject to this rule must be maintained in a manner allowing for timely and efficient retrieval of any record requested by DMV or a police officer for inspection. DMV or a police officer may require that any record printed or completed in a language other than English be accompanied by a copy translated into English.

(4)

DMV may inspect dealer records including books, contracts, documents, letters and records of any type, including electronic and paper records, of any certified vehicle dealer when DMV is investigating a potential violation of Oregon Vehicle Code.
