dealer plates
Lot car markers
Dealer plates are temporary license plates issued to car dealerships, allowing them to legally drive vehicles on public roads for test drives, transport, or demonstration purposes.
The plates belong to the dealership rather than any specific vehicle, so they can be moved between cars in inventory.
Buyers sometimes drive home on dealer plates while waiting for permanent registration: I'm still on dealer plates until my tags come in.
