Screening criteria eliminate many autos
Any of the following will immediately disqualify a vehicle from consideration for The Auto Buying Service's Pre-Owned Auto Program:
- Age / Mileage. Vehicles must be seven (7) model years old or newer and, with rare exceptions, have less than 80,000 miles.
- History. The vehicle title report must be free of State or Federal warranty law repurchase including "Lemon Law Buyback" and "Manufacturer Repurchase". Further, the title must be free of "Salvage", "Junk", "Non-repairable", "Flood" or similar title defects.
- Odometer. Any indicaton that the vehicle's odometer does not reflect the actual miles including vehicles sold "TMU" (True Miles Unknown), vehicles title history mileage discrepancies, vehicles showing signs of odometer tampering, vehicles with replaced odometers.
- Damage. Vehicle has sustained damage in an impact, fire, or flood, that after repair prior to sale substantially impairs the use or safety of the vehicle including any and all frame damage.
Note: The Auto Buying Service has teamed with Carfax to guarantee against certain title defects. All vehicles are provided with a full Carfax history report and associated Carfax buyback guarantee. Just ask your Buying Service associate for more information.
