Dealer Coach The Dealer Coach
tag is not a collegiate plate, but because it is tied exclusively to the
collegiate world, we have elected to include it in this section.
University athletic coaches are often given extra amenities by their
university and/or businesses. One common such perquisite is the free use
of automobiles. In such cases in New Mexico the dealership retains the
car in its
inventory as an unsold vehicle, and it therefore remains untitled. It is
differentiated from regular dealer demonstration vehicles by having a
“Dealer Coach” plate registered to it. |
