* Attention Customers * Mason Dixon requires the buyers and sellers to remain present during the arbitration period of each vehicle sold.
If you purchased a vehicle with a green light condition, you are entitled to inspect your vehicle before paying the remaining balance due. If you suspect a serious problem, go to the Arbitration office PRIOR to paying for your vehicle in full. Green Light vehicles can not be arbitrated once they have been paid in full.
Buyer has one (1) hour to check for any major drive-train defects when bought under the Green Light over $1500.00. No Exceptions. One defect must total $400.00 before car is subject to arbitration unless declared unsafe by the arbitrator. Any major defects found must be settled by arbitrator who has absolute final word.
The buyer assumes all responsibilities for mechanical failure after leaving premises. Any accepted adjustment automatically becomes an "AS IS" transaction. Vehicles can be arbitrated only one time.
