Vermont: Can car dealerships open on Sundays?
Sunday sales allowed
Vermont has no state law that stops car dealers from selling on Sunday.
Vermont's old Sunday-closing laws in Title 13 were repealed, the 'Common Day of Rest' chapter in 1981 and 1983. No Sunday rule for car dealers was found. This answer is an inference from those repeals and the absence of any dealer-specific rule.
What the law says
Repealed. 1983, No. 80, eff. April 29, 1983.
