LA new-dealer used-facility bonds.
$300 flat. Soft pull.
When a licensed Louisiana new motor vehicle dealer operates a used motor vehicle facility, the Motor Vehicle Commission requires a $10,000 bond on that facility. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission licenses new motor vehicle dealers. When a new dealer also operates a used motor vehicle facility — a location handling used vehicles — the Commission requires a separate $10,000 bond on that facility, on top of the $20,000 bond on the dealer's main license.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with Louisiana's motor vehicle dealer law at that facility. If the facility's covered conduct harms a customer or violates the statute, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Failure to maintain the bond can suspend the license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your facility filing continuous.
