Rick’s Car Mart  Ltd On-Line Catalogue

SECTION 1

SOLD 'AS IS' POLICY

Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. of Nassau, Bahamas sells vehicles in 'as is' condition. 'As is' condition means that vehicles are sold in their current condition without warranty implied or explicit. Because of the nature of used vehicles, it is impossible to be aware of everything right and wrong with the vehicle. Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. will do its best to accurately report the condition & quality of all vehicles purchased from our inventory.

'AS IS' POLICY, QUALITY CONTROL & GRADING                                                                                                                       Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. uses careful quality control measures to select its stock and publish its details to our customers.

I. Grading System - Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. uses the highest standards to select our stock. We only select stock that qualifies in our grading system as GRADE 3.5 or above. Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. uses the following grading system for customers to better understand  the condition of our vehicles. One grade point refers to the vehicles exterior condition and a second refers to the interior condition. Customers must understand these grade points are only estimations by professional technicians and should be used for reference only.

II. After the cars are acquired and transported to Rick’s Car Mart Ltd.’s motorpool, they undergo a basic examination. Each vehicle is graded on two scales, INTERIOR CONDITION and EXTERIOR CONDITION. If the condition is unsatisfactory by Rick’s Car Mart Ltd’s standards, Rick’s Car Mart Ltd's professional technicians will move the vehicle to Rick’s Car Mart Ltd.

III. All Rick’s Car Mart Ltd’s cars undergo a mechanical inspection. Cars are checked for basic road function. Engine noise, AC, electrical function, lamps, brakes, clutch, steering etc. are all examined for basic functionality. This is only a simple mechanical inspection (is not an inspection done with dismantling). Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. Recommends that customers always perform a full inspection & basic servicing after the car is received to ensure comfortable and safe use.

IV. All Rick’s Car Mart Ltd. vehicles undergo a surface inspection. All glass parts are inspected. Any obvious dents and scratches are recorded (some may be repaired). All obvious blemishes (exterior and interior) are recorded. Car accessories and options such as stereos, heated seats, power options, fog lights, aftermarket parts etc. are checked and recorded.

V. After inspections, final INTERIOR CONDITION and EXTERIOR CONDITION grade points are issued and all recorded information is published to our website. Several digital photos are taken of the vehicle (front / side, back / side, interior, engine bay, damaged areas) and published to our website. Additional pictures can be requested by the customer.

VI. Before vehicle is released to the customer the interiors are cleaned with a vacuum machine (fabric seats may be steam cleaned). The exterior of the car is washed and polished and the engine is pressure cleaned.
