Vehicle Disclaimer

Welcome to Northwest Motors. This disclaimer outlines the terms and conditions applicable to our dealership’s vehicle sales, financing, online communications, trade-in evaluations, and general use of our website. By visiting our site, browsing inventory, contacting us by phone or online form, or purchasing a vehicle, you agree to the terms set forth in this document. These terms protect both the dealership and the customer by clearly disclosing policies and limitations related to our sales, pricing, credit programs, and warranties.

1. VEHICLE LISTINGS AND ACCURACY

We make every effort to ensure that the vehicle information displayed on our website and third-party listing sites is accurate and up to date. However, we do not guarantee that all descriptions, prices, features, or specifications are error-free. All vehicle details including make, model, year, VIN, mileage, equipment, drivetrain, and color are believed to be correct at the time of listing but may contain typographical, technical, or human errors.

Odometer readings may change due to customer test drives or dealership transport. Photos shown may not reflect actual condition and may include stock or promotional images. Some vehicles may be listed with optional packages or features that are not installed. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify all equipment and specifications with a sales representative prior to purchase.

Vehicle availability changes daily. We cannot guarantee that any specific vehicle listed online will be available at the time of your inquiry or visit. We reserve the right to remove vehicles from our listings at any time and without notice.

2. PRICING AND FEES

All prices listed on our website or advertising channels are subject to change without notice. The dealership is not responsible for pricing errors or inaccuracies in online ads. Prices shown may not reflect final selling price. The total cost of purchase will include additional fees such as applicable sales tax, title and registration fees, a documentary fee, and any selected add-ons including extended warranties, GAP insurance, or service plans.

Some prices may reflect special promotions or financing incentives that are only available when financing is arranged through specific lenders. Cash purchase prices and outside financing prices may differ from dealership financing promotions. All offers are subject to change and may be withdrawn without prior notice.

3. TAXES AND TITLE

All applicable state, county, and local taxes will be collected at the time of purchase unless otherwise agreed. We collect taxes based on the state in which the vehicle will be registered. Title transfer and registration are performed in compliance with the local Department of Motor Vehicles regulations. If the vehicle is being registered out of state, the customer is responsible for understanding and paying applicable taxes in their home state.

4. FINANCING AND CREDIT APPROVAL

We offer financing through various banks, credit unions, and subprime lending partners. Loan approval and financing terms are subject to lender guidelines. Not all customers will qualify for advertised rates. Financing eligibility is based on a number of factors including credit score, income, employment history, residence, down payment amount, and the specific vehicle being financed.

Financing offers may require proof of income, proof of address, valid government-issued identification, and/or banking history. Northwest Motors does not make lending decisions and cannot guarantee loan approval. We do not offer pre-approval over the phone or via email. The final approval will be determined after a full credit application and submission to one or more of our lending partners.

5. SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR NO CREDIT, BAD CREDIT, AND ITIN BUYERS

We work with lenders that offer financing solutions for customers with poor credit, no credit, or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). However, approval is not guaranteed. These programs often require a higher down payment and may include higher interest rates or shorter loan terms.

Applicants must provide an ITIN, proof of income, a valid government-issued ID (such as passport or consular ID), proof of residence, and references. Lenders may request additional documentation or verification prior to funding the loan. Not all vehicles may qualify for subprime or ITIN financing programs.

6. BUY HERE PAY HERE PROGRAM

Northwest Motors may offer in-house financing or Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) options on select vehicles. These programs are reserved for customers who do not qualify for traditional or subprime financing. Approval for BHPH is based on proof of income, residency, and ability to make timely payments.

BHPH loans require a valid ID, proof of income (paystubs or bank deposits), references, and a minimum down payment. Vehicles purchased through BHPH remain titled in the dealership’s name until paid in full. In the event of missed or late payments, vehicles may be subject to repossession in accordance with state law.

7. VEHICLE WARRANTIES AND “AS-IS” SALES

Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing, all vehicles are sold “as-is,” meaning there is no warranty expressed or implied. The buyer assumes all responsibility for future mechanical failures or repairs. While we may allow third-party inspections prior to purchase, Northwest Motors makes no guarantee regarding the condition, safety, or reliability of any used vehicle beyond what is disclosed at the time of sale.

Extended warranties, vehicle service contracts, and certified protection plans may be offered at an additional cost. These optional coverages are administered by third-party providers and are not covered under the standard purchase agreement. The terms and limits of coverage are determined by the contract and must be reviewed by the buyer prior to acceptance.

8. VEHICLE HISTORY REPORTS

We provide vehicle history reports such as Carfax or AutoCheck for most vehicles. These reports are offered for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a comprehensive record of vehicle condition or ownership. We are not responsible for inaccuracies or omissions in third-party history reports.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to review the report and confirm information such as previous accidents, title status, service records, mileage, or structural damage. We do not guarantee that a clean Carfax or AutoCheck report means the vehicle is free from defects or prior damage.

9. TRADE-IN POLICY

We accept trade-in vehicles and offer appraisal services to determine value. All trade-in offers are based on physical inspection, current market demand, and vehicle condition. Online trade estimators are not guarantees of value. The final trade-in value may vary from initial estimates based on factors such as damage, mechanical condition, title status, odometer accuracy, and demand.

All trade-ins must be accompanied by a valid title. If there is an outstanding lien, we will coordinate the payoff process with the lienholder. Customers are responsible for any remaining balance on their loan after the trade-in value is applied.

10. TITLE, LIENS, AND DMV PROCESSING

For financed vehicles, the dealership or lender may hold the title until the loan is paid in full. For cash purchases, title processing may take up to 30 business days depending on state DMV backlog and document requirements. We are not responsible for delays caused by government processing, out-of-state registration, or incomplete buyer documents.

In cases where a vehicle is purchased by a non-resident or requires export, the customer assumes full responsibility for taxes, registration, emissions compliance, and inspection requirements in the destination country or state.

11. DELIVERY AND SHIPPING POLICY

Northwest Motors may offer local and out-of-state delivery options for purchased vehicles, depending on availability, location, and scheduling. Delivery fees vary based on distance and transportation method. All delivery arrangements must be confirmed in writing and are subject to approval by dealership management.

Customers who request delivery are responsible for:

• Signing the required documents electronically or by mail

• Submitting proof of insurance prior to delivery

• Paying for delivery fees before the vehicle is released

• Ensuring someone is present at the delivery address to receive the vehicle and sign any necessary paperwork

The dealership is not liable for delays due to weather, third-party transporter schedules, or incomplete customer paperwork. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule delivery if any compliance or payment issues arise.

12. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS AND TEST DRIVES

Customers are encouraged to test drive and inspect vehicles before making a purchase decision. Test drives are available to qualified individuals who present a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance. Test drives are subject to availability and staffing. The dealership reserves the right to refuse test drives at its discretion.

Buyers may bring their own mechanic or arrange for a pre-purchase inspection at their own cost. Vehicles removed from the lot for offsite inspections must be approved in writing. We are not responsible for third-party inspection findings or delays resulting from external mechanic availability.

13. WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACTS

Unless stated otherwise, all used vehicles are sold without any dealership warranty. Extended service contracts or vehicle protection plans may be available through third-party warranty companies. Coverage varies by provider, vehicle age, mileage, and mechanical condition.

Buyers who purchase a vehicle with an extended warranty are advised to carefully review the contract, terms, exclusions, and claim procedures. Northwest Motors is not responsible for approval, denial, or coverage decisions made by warranty administrators. We act solely as a retail agent and do not service or manage claims.

14. GAP INSURANCE AND ADD-ONS

Optional products such as GAP insurance (Guaranteed Asset Protection), appearance protection packages, wheel and tire coverage, and key replacement are available for an additional cost. These are not required to purchase a vehicle or to obtain financing.

GAP insurance may cover the difference between your insurance payout and the balance on your auto loan if the vehicle is totaled in an accident. However, it does not cover missed payments, late fees, or non-collision damage. Eligibility may depend on vehicle age, loan amount, and lender approval.

15. TITLE HOLDS AND PAYOFFS

If your vehicle is being financed or you are trading in a vehicle with an outstanding loan balance, we will coordinate directly with your lender to obtain a payoff quote and process the lien release. This process may take several business days depending on the lender.

The title to any financed vehicle will remain with either the dealership or the lending institution until the loan is paid off in full. Title release processing may be delayed due to loan verification, lien releases, or DMV wait times.

16. MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT AND LANGUAGE NOTICE

Northwest Motors provides service in both English and Spanish to better support our diverse customer base. We offer bilingual staff, Spanish-language applications, and translated vehicle information to assist buyers who prefer to communicate in Spanish.

While we make every effort to provide accurate and clear translations, the English-language version of all contracts, disclosures, disclaimers, and legal documents shall take precedence in any legal matters or contractual interpretation.

We recommend that non-English speakers review all documentation with a trusted interpreter or legal advisor before signing.

Failure to meet contractual obligations may result in repossession, negative credit reporting, or legal action in accordance with state and federal law.

21. RETURN POLICY AND CANCELATIONS

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all vehicle sales are final. We do not offer a return, exchange, or refund policy once the vehicle has been signed for and delivered. Deposits may be refundable or non-refundable depending on the type of deal structure and vehicle hold conditions.

Customers who cancel a deal after submitting finance paperwork or DMV documents may incur administrative fees. Vehicle holds are not guaranteed unless accompanied by a signed agreement and deposit.

22. DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION CLAUSE

Any disputes or claims arising from or related to the purchase of a vehicle, financing terms, or dealership practices shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with Illinois law. The arbitration shall be conducted by a neutral third party and shall take place within the county in which the dealership is located.

This clause does not waive a customer’s rights under federal or state consumer protection laws but does limit the method of resolution. By completing your purchase, you agree to waive your right to trial by jury or to file class-action claims against Northwest Motors.

25. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS AND DISCLAIMER

All customers purchasing a vehicle through financing must provide valid and active full-coverage insurance before the vehicle is released. Full coverage typically includes both comprehensive and collision coverage with deductibles that meet lender requirements. The insurance must list the lienholder or finance company as the loss payee, and the VIN must match the purchased vehicle.

Cash buyers are required to provide proof of liability insurance per state law before taking possession of any vehicle. Failure to maintain proper insurance coverage may result in loan default, repossession, or cancellation of optional coverage such as GAP or extended warranty.

Northwest Motors is not affiliated with any insurance provider and does not offer legal or financial advice regarding insurance policy selection. Customers are encouraged to contact a licensed agent to understand the full terms and conditions of their policy.

26. VEHICLE EXPORT AND OUT-OF-STATE DELIVERY

We welcome buyers from all 50 states and international customers. However, vehicles intended for export or delivery outside of Illinois may be subject to different legal, environmental, and safety regulations. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle complies with applicable import/export laws, emissions standards, and vehicle registration requirements in their country or state.

We do not provide international transport arrangements or customs processing. For out-of-state buyers, we will issue temporary tags when available and provide title documents via mail after DMV processing is complete. Some states require inspections, emissions tests, or tax declarations prior to vehicle registration.

All export sales are final. No warranties or return policies apply to export transactions. Vehicle history reports and emissions compliance disclosures should be reviewed thoroughly before finalizing the transaction.

27. DIGITAL ADVERTISING TERMS AND DISCLAIMERS

Northwest Motors uses multiple advertising channels including Google Ads, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, CarGurus, Cars.com, and others to promote vehicle inventory. Due to variations in listing syndication and daily inventory changes, pricing or availability may differ across platforms.

We are not responsible for outdated listings, pricing discrepancies, or inventory visibility delays on third-party platforms. All vehicle descriptions and offers are subject to confirmation on our official website or in-store. Promotions may be exclusive to certain ad platforms and may not be combined.

Clicking on vehicle listings or submitting forms through paid ads does not guarantee vehicle availability, financing approval, or eligibility for promotional pricing. Customers are advised to contact the dealership directly for up-to-date pricing, availability, and terms.
