Hanging Buyers Guides

A hanging Buyers Guide displays inside the vehicle from the rearview mirror, using a 1-1/8in punched hole large enough to slip over the mirror post without bunching. The practical advantage is that the Guide hangs free: the required content appears on both sides of the form, and a hanging guide can be turned and read front and back without being removed from the glass.

Two Warranty Versions

Match the version to how the vehicle is sold. The 2-part hanging AS-IS buyers guide discloses that the vehicle is sold without warranty and the dealer takes no responsibility for repairs after sale. The 2-part hanging implied warranty guide discloses implied warranty coverage. Most used lots stock both.

Format

Both are 8-1/2in x 11-3/4in, 2-part carbonless in white and yellow, printed in black ink on a grey backer for readability. Write on the top copy and the file copy records automatically, so you keep a matching record of exactly what was disclosed without completing the form twice.

When to Use a Hanging Guide

Hanging guides suit showroom and indoor display, vehicles that shoppers sit in, and any situation where you would rather not adhere anything to the glass. They also avoid adhesive residue on vehicles that will be detailed for delivery. For vehicles parked outside where the Guide needs to be read through a closed window, an adhered format is usually more practical: see 1-part buyers guides for display-only peel-n-seal versions and 2-part buyers guides for adhered versions with a file copy.

Other Display Options

If you want a reusable holder rather than adhesive or hanging, the parent category stocks static cling holders, clip-on window holders, fold-over pouches, and suction cup kits, all used with a no-tape file copy guide. See all AS IS buyers guides and forms, and Spanish buyers guides where your customer base needs them.

FAQ

What is a hanging Buyers Guide?

A Buyers Guide with a punched hole at the top so it hangs from the rearview mirror inside the vehicle rather than adhering to the window. It carries the same FTC-required content as any other Buyers Guide; only the display method differs.

Why choose hanging over an adhered guide?

The Guide has required content on both sides, and the FTC rule requires it displayed so both sides can be read. A hanging guide turns freely, so a shopper can read front and back without anything being removed. It also leaves no adhesive on the glass, which matters on vehicles being detailed for delivery.

AS-IS or implied warranty?

It depends on the vehicle. Use AS-IS when the vehicle is sold without warranty and the buyer assumes responsibility for repairs. Use implied warranty when implied warranty coverage applies. Some states restrict AS-IS sales, so confirm what applies before stocking only one version.

What does 2-part carbonless mean here?

Two copies from one completion, white and yellow. Write on the top copy and the second copy records automatically. The displayed copy goes with the vehicle and the file copy stays in your records, matching exactly, which is the point if the disclosure is questioned later.

Will a hanging guide work on a locked vehicle outdoors?

It is readable through the glass but not handleable, so a shopper cannot turn it over without the vehicle being opened. For outdoor inventory that shoppers browse unattended, many dealerships prefer an adhered 1-part or 2-part guide on the window, and use hanging guides for showroom and indoor display.
