Sec.  3282.252  Prohibition of sale.



    (a) No distributor or dealer shall make use of any means of 

transportation affecting interstate or foreign commerce or the mails to 

sell, lease, or offer for sale or lease in the United States any 

manufactured home manufactured on or after the effective date of an 

applicable standard unless:

    (1) There is affixed to the manufactured home a label certifying 

that the manufactured home conforms to applicable standards as required 

by Sec.  3282.205(c), and

    (2) The distributor or dealer, acting as a reasonable distributor or 

dealer, does not know that the manufactured home does not conform to any 

applicable standards.

    (b) This prohibition applies to any affected manufactured homes 

until the completion of the entire sales transaction. A sales 

transaction with a purchaser is considered completed when all the goods 

and services that the dealer agreed to provide at the time the contract 

was entered into have been provided. Completion of a retail sale will be 

at the time the dealer completes set-up of the manufactured home if the 

dealer has agreed to provide the set-up, or at the time the dealer 

delivers the home to a transporter, if the dealer has not agreed to 

transport or

set up the manufactured home, or to the site if the dealer has not 

agreed to provide set-up.

    (c) This prohibition of sale does not apply to manufactured homes 

which are placed in production prior to the effective date of the 

standards, and it does not apply to ``used'' manufactured homes which 

are being sold or offered for sale after the first purchase in good 

faith for purposes other than the resale.
