Exploring the Path of Platform Vehicle Source Display and Consumer Trust Building under the Evolution of Used Car Trading Rules in the United States

Abstract

This article reviews the historical evolution of regulations related to used car sales in the United States, analyzes how these regulations affect the presentation of vehicle information on online used car platforms, and discusses how platforms can establish and improve consumer trust within this legal framework. The author believes that with the continuous improvement of the legal system and business practices of the federal and state governments in the United States, it is an important external driving force to promote the reform of platform information disclosure and standardization. Consumer trust maintenance is a comprehensive and systematic process that includes information quality, platform guarantee measures, credit evaluation system, and social supervision. The article aims to provide a theoretical perspective for understanding the normative development of the US used car online market and to provide some reference for the healthy and benign development of China's used car online market through the study of the correlation between rule changes, innovative presentation methods, and the formation of trust relationships.
