Dealer Responsibilities

Central Auto Auction requires that all buyers and sellers follow its current Policy Guide in transacting business. However, it is important to understand that neither Central Auto Auction nor its auctioneers make any independant inspections or representations concerning the condition of the vehicles offered for sale.
