A damage disclosure statement should be given when?

• A. Damage of more than 6% of the MSRP, does not include glass, tires or bumper, and all uncorrected damage must be disclosed to customer
• B. Only if asked by the customer
• C. Only for new vehicles
• D. After the sale is completed

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that certain known damage must be disclosed to the buyer based on a specific threshold. In Wisconsin, a damage disclosure statement is required when there is known damage that exceeds 6% of the vehicle’s MSRP, and this requirement excludes damage to glass, tires, or the bumper. Importantly, any damage that has not been repaired (uncorrected damage) must be disclosed to the customer before the sale. This protects buyers by ensuring they know about substantial issues that could affect safety, value, or repair costs.

That’s why this option is the best: it sets the exact threshold (more than 6% of MSRP) and clarifies that uncorrected damage must be disclosed, while also specifying the items excluded from the calculation (glass, tires, bumper). The other ideas—disclosing only if asked, only for new vehicles, or only after the sale—do not reflect the duty to proactively disclose material damage before completing the sale.
