    (a) When a motor vehicle dealer, as defined by Sections
5-101 or 5-102 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, enters into a
retail transaction where a consumer trades in or sells a
vehicle that is subject to a lien, the dealer shall:
        (1) within 21 calendar days of the date of sale remit
    payment to the lien holder to pay off the lien on the
    traded-in or sold motor vehicle, unless the underlying
    contract has been rescinded before expiration of 21
    calendar days; and
        (2) fully comply with Section 2C of this Act.
    (b) A motor vehicle dealer who violates this Section
commits an unlawful practice within the meaning of this Act.
    (c) For the purposes of this Section, the term "date of
sale" shall be the date the parties entered into the
transaction as evidenced by the date written in the contract
executed by the parties, or the date the motor vehicle
dealership took possession of the traded-in or sold vehicle. In
the event the date of the contract differs from the date the
motor vehicle dealership took possession of the traded-in
vehicle, the "date of sale" shall be the date the motor vehicle
dealership took possession of the traded-in vehicle.
