  • Program availability is at our discretion and void where prohibited.

2) Appraisals & Verification

  • Inspection may include test drive, scan for DTCs, photos, option verification, and review of service records/Carfax/AutoCheck.
  • Offer may change if verified condition/history differs. Unless stated otherwise, offers are valid 7 calendar days or 300 miles, whichever occurs first.

3) Vehicle Condition & Disclosures

5) Payment

  • Payment by company check or electronic transfer, after paperwork, ID, and title verification.

6) Delivery, Pickup & Risk of Loss

  • Bring the vehicle to our store unless we schedule a pickup (availability/fees provided upon request).
  • Risk of loss remains with Seller until bill of sale is executed and we take possession.

7) Accuracy, Fraud & Right to Cancel
