The short answer is that you can't obtain a MA car dealer handbook.

Why?

That gets into the longer answer. In Massachusetts - unlike most states - the state legislature sets the overall framework for car sales and dealer licensing, but local cities and towns have the licensing authority. So, they can refine these regulations according to their preferences.

In other words, your local municipality will issue the dealer license, not the RMV or the state. This applies to any type of auto sales, including both new cars and used cars.

Considering that, it would be impossible to have a single auto dealers manual covering the entire state.

Where to Look for MA Car Dealers Information

Consult your town's dealer licensing board for details about receiving your auto dealers license, or, browse the state legal code and pay close attention to these sections:

  • Chapter 140: Dealer Licensing
  • Chapter 90: Motor Vehicles
You can also find the applicable dealer forms on the RMV site, even though the agency does not issue licenses for dealers.
