Full-use dealer plates cannot be displayed on vehicles used by the dealership for which purpose?

Full-use dealer plates in Colorado are specifically designed to allow dealers to operate vehicles for sale, demonstration, and repair purposes. These plates are issued to facilitate those activities that are fundamental to a dealership's operations. However, they cannot be used on vehicles for commercial purposes outside of the dealership's core functions.

Commercial purposes typically involve using a vehicle for business activities that are not directly related to the sale, demonstration, or repair of vehicles. For instance, using a vehicle to transport goods unrelated to the dealership’s operation would be considered a commercial activity. Therefore, using full-use dealer plates in this way would violate the regulations governing their use, ensuring that they are reserved strictly for purposes related to the dealership itself. This restriction helps maintain compliance with state regulations and prevents misuse of dealer plates for non-dealer-related activities.
