REPOSSESSION
NAC 490.530 Sale or lease of repossessed off-highway vehicle: Persons liable on security agreement to be given written notice of intent in advance; required manner of provision and contents of notice; rights of persons liable on security agreement. (NRS 481.051, 490.066)
1. Any provision in any security agreement for the sale or lease of an off-highway vehicle to the contrary notwithstanding, at least 10 days’ written notice of intent to sell or again lease a repossessed off-highway vehicle must be given to all persons liable on the security agreement. The notice must be given in person or sent by mail directed to the address of the persons shown on the security agreement, unless the persons have notified the holder in writing of a different address.
2. The notice:
(a) Must set forth that there is a right to redeem the off-highway vehicle and the total amount required as of the date of the notice to redeem;
(b) May inform the persons of their privilege of reinstatement of the security agreement, if the holder extends such a privilege;
(c) Must give notice of the holder’s intent to resell or again lease the off-highway vehicle upon the expiration of 10 days after the date of giving or mailing the notice;
(d) Must disclose the place at which the off-highway vehicle will be returned to the buyer or lessee upon redemption or reinstatement; and

NAC 490.535 Sale of repossessed off-highway vehicle in commercially reasonable manner; application of proceeds; injunctive relief; damages. (NRS 481.051, 490.066)
1. Every repossessed off-highway vehicle must be sold in a commercially reasonable manner. The fact that a better price could have been obtained by a sale at a different time or in a different method from that selected by the secured party is not of itself sufficient to establish that the sale was not made in a commercially reasonable manner. If the secured party sells the off-highway vehicle in the usual manner in any recognized market for the off-highway vehicle, sells at the price current in the market at the time of the sale or has otherwise sold in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among off-highway vehicle dealers in the type of off-highway vehicle sold, the secured party has sold in a commercially reasonable manner. A disposition which has been approved in any judicial proceeding shall be deemed conclusively to be commercially reasonable, but such a disposition does not indicate that any such approval must be obtained in any case and does not indicate that any disposition not so approved is not commercially reasonable.
2. The proceeds of a disposition must be applied in the following order:
(a) The reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale and selling, and, to the extent provided for in the agreement, the reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses incurred by the secured party.
(b) The satisfaction of indebtedness secured by the security interest under which the disposition is made.
(c) The satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the collateral if written notification of demand therefor is received before distribution of the proceeds is completed. If requested by the secured party, the holder of a subordinate security interest must seasonably furnish reasonable proof of his or her interest, and unless he or she does so, the secured party is not required to comply with his or her demand.
(d) The payment of any surplus to the debtor.
3. If it is established that the secured party is not proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this section and NAC 490.530, a disposition may be ordered or restrained on appropriate terms and conditions. If the disposition has occurred, the debtor or any person entitled to notification or whose security interest has been made known to the secured party before the disposition has a right to recover from the secured party any loss caused by failure to comply with the provisions of this section. If the disposition was not commercially reasonable, as specified in subsection 1, the debtor has a right to recover double his or her actual damages.

4. A person must not be charged with any criminal act which caused an off-highway vehicle to be seized pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 1 until the written report is completed pursuant to subsection 2.

(a) Any peace officer of the Department;

(a) Enters into a contract for the sale of an off-highway vehicle on credit with a customer, exercises a valid option to cancel the off-highway vehicle sale and then, after the customer returns the off-highway vehicle with no damage other than reasonable wear and tear, the seller:
