Frontline Buying Dealer:  AVDA Auction will take all necessary steps to insure our buyers will experience efficient and effective ways to buy good quality front line vehicles.

  • Prior to purchase of a vehicle a buyer should take all necessary precautions regarding the potential purchase.  This is to include any/all Electronic Data Vehicle Histories (EDVH), i.e. Carfax, Autocheck, etc.,
  • When you purchase the vehicle please pick up the vehicle immediately, no later than 48 hours.  If you need assistance with transportation please notify our transportation department immediately (the longer it stays at the selling dealership the better chance it could be retailed).
  • Once you pick up and receive the vehicle from purchasing dealer you have 48 hours to notify AVDA Auction with any arbitration issues by email or text.
  • Please read all the arbitration rules and policies very carefully if you are not sure please call your auction representative.
  • Buyer will pay for the vehicle to AVDA Auction plus the buy fee and any other applicable fees such as transport post sale inspection etc……

Frontline Arbitration:  Issues must be submitted to the auction within 48 hours after receiving the vehicles (if a vehicle is received on Friday arbitration will extend until 3pm the following Monday.)

  • When arbitration issues arise AVDA Auction will assign its own inspector or a 3rd party to inspect and verify the issue.  (The losing party will pay the inspection fees, while fees may vary from $100 to $200.)  If the seller is the losing party they will be responsible to pay transport fees (to and from the dealership.)
  • Late title arbitration the buying dealer is entitled to transportation fees only (to and from the purchasing dealership).  There will be no reimbursements for advertising fee, commission fee, profit fee, wash and detail fee, any repairs, factory and/or after-market additions.  The vehicle must be in the same or better condition as when it was purchased and no more than 100 miles.
  • Equipment arbitration for wrong information on the book.  If the buyer and seller don’t agree on an adjustment the buyer can arbitrate the vehicle back (To be fair to all parties, the buyer can’t ask more than the arbitrated amount on the equipment. However, some items such as navigations, sport package premium package etc…..are exempt.)
  • Auction is not bound by information listed in Electronic Data Vehicle Histories (EDVH), i.e. Carfax, AutoCheck, Etc., and any vehicle may not be arbitrated solely on EDVH data.  Auction may investigate vehicle history based on information found in EDVH for information that may impact arbitration.
