I also do not hold or reserve vehicles for pending sale. I do not trade. In-person vehicle inspections are usually not possible.

Sale is final when payment is made and there are no returns. Seller shall mail the title to Buyer via Certified Mail. Seller arranges for shipping at no charge. Buyer pays all shipping costs COD. There are no warranties or guarantees, either implied, verbal or written, outside of this agreement. Signature of Seller.
This notice is a disclosure of the Terms and Conditions of sale and reading this information is considered notice to any and all buyers.
PURCHASING PROCEDURE:
If you decide to purchase a vehicle, I will send you my references upon request. Once you tell me to proceed with the sale, I send you a signed Bill of Sale/Agreement. I also send you my banking information. You print the instructions and give them to your bank. I only accept wire transfers or direct cash deposits. I do not accept Cashier's Checks, personal or business checks or cash. All payments shall be in United States Dollars (USD) only.
REFUNDS AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE DISCLOSURE:
If for any reason the transaction cannot be completed, any and all refunds shall be paid back in USD only. Only the amount originally received in USD shall be refunded. For international sales, there are no foreign exchange adjustments of any kind regarding returns.
USA GROUND SHIPPING:
Once the payment is made, I get the vehicle ready to ship and arrange for transportation on CentralDispatch.com. I set the price and the terms of the transportation. All shipping quotes are subject to change due to changing market conditions and foreign exchange rates. When I hire a transporter, I then issue a Shipping Agreement, of which you get a copy via email or fax. I coordinate the shipment until it arrives. You pay the transporter COD or you can pay me and I pay the transporter. Once the vehicle leaves my property on the transporter, I am no longer responsible for loss, damage or theft. For lower 48 USA states, it usually takes about a week or less from the time the car is picked up until it is delivered. However, it could take up to 3-4 weeks if the shipment is between routes not normally travelled by transporters.
CANADA GROUND SHIPPING:
For Canadian shipments, I locate a towing company at your nearest port of entry and ship the vehicle to them. You can then have it picked up at the towing company and take it across the border. For Canadian shipments, the ground transportation to the USA side must be paid in advance. I also file the US Customs documents at the USA-side port office for you 72 hours before the vehicle crosses the US border into Canada. This includes a copy of the title and a cover letter from you expressing intend to export the vehicle. Then US Customs clears the vehicle for export. This procedure is required to export the vehicle out of the USA.
INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER SHIPPING:
For international shipments other than those bound for the Canadian border, I first ship the vehicle to my container shippers in Long Beach, California or another port if more economical or if requested. The shipping companies I use are Amid Logistics, LLC www.oceanfreightusa.com Schumacher Cargo Logistics www.schumachercargo.com or CFR Line www.cfrline.com For the lowest rate, Schumacher or CFR usually consolidates the vehicle with other vehicles and goods (shared container) and ships the container to your port. You can also have your own private 20' or 40' container. It arrives much faster and costs considerably more, except if you have 2-3 vehicles, then it is considerably cheaper. I also arrange RO/RO roll on/roll of for running and driving vehicles when necessary. All oversized vehicles must be shipped RO/RO or you have to pay for 3 containers because of overhang on both sides of a flat rack container. For international shipments other than Canadian border shipments, it usually takes 3-4 months total from the time you purchase the vehicle until you receive it. For container shipments, all ground and container costs must be paid in advance. If you are not familiar with importing vehicles, you need to hire a Customs Broker at your destination port. You can also arrange your own transportation or pick up the vehicle. All container charges must be paid in advance. Vehicle cleaning, if required, is an additional charge of $250 USD, or by estimate depending on what is needs to be done.
VEHICLE TITLES:
All vehicles are sold with titles. The title is mailed to you Certified Mail for USA and Registered Mail for Canadian shipments. For international shipments, I send you a copy of the title and the original title travels with the vehicle. No vehicles can be exported out of the USA without the title in hand. We usually have vehicle titles on hand when you buy the vehicle. If we need to file for a new title, it takes from 4-12 weeks to get it processed using our regular title process in Montana or Idaho. If a title is needed sooner or for other reasons, we get a title in your name within 2-4 weeks from our associated vehicle dealer in Maine. There is a $400 USD charge for Maine titles unless otherwise agreed upon.
