The practice is common in car dealerships. Many shops exhibit the cars without displaying consumer prices, but the practice is not acceptable according to the Consumer Protection Code. Article 4 of Decree 5,903 / 06 says that the price of products must always be visible to the consumer while the office is open to the public. In this same situation, any assembly or cleaning inside the store should be without prejudice to such information.
It was precisely for not obeying this rule that the 3rd Civil Chamber of the Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul remained in full punishment sentence against one special car dealers in Porto Alegre. The notification yielded fine of R$ 11,111.20.

And that the price lists were being changed to reset value because the tax on industrialized products increased by 30%, determined by the Federal Government at the time. Also he said that while bench prices, kept table with the price of the vehicles displayed at the entrance of the show room.
The judge João Pedro Cavalli Junior also underwrote his sentence on top of two CDC devices.

And Article 31 states that the presentation of products should bring correct information, clear, precise, conspicuously and in Portuguese. '' If Interpreting systematically the rules on the subject matter, it was concluded that consumer information regarding the price of the product, as well as clear and unambiguous, it must be permanent, '' he wrote the sentence.
It's no excuse
For the judge, the need to correct the table is no justification for the cars remain without prices affixed to them. In his view, it is perfectly possible to maintain the old prices along with the vehicles until they were adjusted values or, at worst, make the changes outside the Customer Service hours.
The fixing of prices in the show room also does not remove the irregularity. '' When the consumerist legislation comes to information 'ostentatious', is referring, in this case, the information provided so that the consumer, when passing in front of the shop window, can, at once, identify the value of the product exposed '', purchased.
