The city of Salisbury, MA limits the number of used car business licenses it issues to 17. As a result, many essentially defunct dealerships refuse to give up their licenses, leaving others "trying to get around the limit in creative ways." One of those creative ways, no doubt, is curbstoning.
Curbstoning leaves the city without license revenue and trackable tax revenue on the sales of used cars. But, moreover, it denies local consumers the opportunity to buy used vehicles that are in compliance with Lemon Laws, from dealers in established locations who are licensed, bonded, and have access to repair facilities so they can stand behind the vehicles they sell.
Curbstoning is a loss-loss for the city and the residents.
