NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE

Any deposit requirement is strictly negotiable between you and the dealer (NOT ThirdCoastCars ). From time-to-time a vehicle dealer with whom you are negotiating for a purchase or lease may require a good faith monetary deposit as a good faith showing of your intent to purchase or lease a general make, model or type of vehicle and/or to hold a particular vehicle on your behalf.

Absent a specific agreement between you and the dealer, a dealer is not required to hold any vehicle off the market and is free to sell any vehicle at any time before you have executed a contract to purchase such vehicle. The act of submitting a purchase request through our Website does not place a hold on any specific vehicle in a dealer or manufacturer's inventory. A monetary deposit made by you to the dealer is not a guarantee that a specific vehicle will be available for you to purchase unless you and the dealer specifically agree to such term and the vehicle is clearly identified on a deposit receipt by the Vehicle Identification Number or Dealer Stock Number. It is your responsibility to confirm with the dealer that the vehicle will be held off the market until you can arrive at the dealership to complete the purchase and whether or not an additional deposit is necessary as a condition of the dealer holding the vehicle for you.

Whether your deposit is refundable or not is subject to your contractual agreement with the dealer and/or state law. You should not assume a deposit made by you towards the purchase or lease of a vehicle is fully refundable. Deposits made on special ordered vehicles may not be refundable in the event you ultimately do not complete the purchase or lease.

CREDIT EVALUATION

You are not required to apply for vehicle financing as a condition of your using this Website or any of the services offered hereon. Independent third party lenders and not ThirdCoastCars provide all vehicle-financing programs. If you choose to apply for financing through one of our affiliated-lending partners, you do so with this understanding. You will be asked to submit an application for credit and other documentation, as the lender deems necessary in order to facilitate the loan. Payment information provided to you on this Website is for educational purposes only and shall not be considered as final. Your actual payment will be based upon, among other things, the results of an independent credit evaluation, current prevailing interest rates, and the length and amount of the loan requested.

 It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION PROVIDED BY THE DEALER AND TO PHYSICALLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO COMPLETING YOUR PURCHASE. A non-certified vehicle shall mean a dealer offered, retail quality, pre-owned vehicle that is offered without express warranty, refund or exchange options. Dealer may post any retail quality vehicle owned by the Dealer, regardless of model year or mileage. Dealer has agreed not to post any consignment vehicle(s). Dealer is responsible for disclosing prior rental and dealer demonstration history, frame damage, salvage history, stolen-recovery history, flood damage, and any material cosmetic or mechanical damage, defect or irregularity of the vehicle. Dealer, in its sole discretion, may offer a limited warranty for a vehicle(s) or in the alternative, offer a vehicle, without warranty, AS-IS.
