Green Light Vehicles Only
If you purchased a vehicle with a green light condition over $1500, you are entitled to one hour to inspect your vehicle before paying the remaining balance due. If you suspect a serious mechanical 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 drivetrain 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.
