      3.   A second-hand automobile dealer shall not sell a second-hand automobile at a price higher than the price advertised, quoted or posted on the automobile, and may not increase the price of the automobile on the basis that a consumer has secured financing from a third-party lender;
      4.   A consumer of a second-hand automobile may file a complaint against a second-hand automobile dealer or retrieve the 311 complaint history of a second-hand automobile dealer by calling 311 and referencing the license number of such dealer;
      5.   A consumer of a second-hand automobile is entitled to a buyer's guide, as required by section 455.2 of title 16 of the code of federal regulations, as well as warranties and rights described in section 198-b of the general business law;
      6.   A consumer of a second-hand automobile is entitled to specific disclosures, including a disclosure that states the lowest annual percentage rate offered to such consumer by a financing company solicited on the consumer's behalf by a dealer and any fees being charged by the second-hand automobile dealer in connection with the financing of a second-hand automobile;
      7.   A consumer of a second-hand automobile is not required to purchase any add-on product as a condition of purchasing or financing a second-hand automobile at an offered price; and
      8.   A second-hand automobile dealer shall provide to a second-hand automobile consumer, in writing, the itemized cost of each add-on product to be included in the retail installment contract, including the monthly and total cost of financing with and without each such add-on product.
   b.   1.   Every second-hand automobile dealer shall conspicuously post a consumer bill of rights in their place of business in a form and manner to be prescribed by the commissioner by rule.
      2.   Prior to the execution of any sales contract for the purchase of a second-hand automobile, and in a form and manner prescribed by the commissioner by rule, a second-hand automobile dealer shall separately provide a consumer with a copy of the consumer bill of rights, the receipt of which the consumer must acknowledge by signing or initialing in writing. Such dealer shall provide such consumer with a copy of the signed or initialed consumer bill of rights.
      3.   Every second-hand automobile dealer shall provide the consumer bill of rights to a consumer in the language in which the sales contract was negotiated, provided the commissioner has made a sample bill of rights available in such language.
