BUYERS GUIDE
Voluntary disclosure: A Buyers Choice is a private individual selling this vehicle, not a licensed dealer, so the FTC's Used Car Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 455) - which legally requires a Buyers Guide only from a dealer selling more than 5 used vehicles a year - does not apply to this listing. This form is provided voluntarily, as a transparency tool modeled on the FTC's official Buyers Guide, and is not a claim of dealer status or legal compliance. A licensed dealer who IS subject to the Used Car Rule must post the FTC's actual official form, not this page.

Title & Fee Disclosures
DMV/Registration Fees Due: $65.00 - Low estimate only - the DMV fees due aren't known, so this is the lowest typical amount. They can be higher, especially if the registration is due soon or has expired.
Title and fee information above is exactly what the seller entered on this listing - confirm both directly with the seller and the DMV before purchase.
Important
Spoken promises are difficult to enforce. Ask the seller to put all promises in writing. Keep this form.
See the back of this form for important additional information, a list of some major defects that may occur in used motor vehicles, additional disclosure acknowledgments (if any), and the seller's full contact information.
Important Additional Information
IMPLIED WARRANTIES
Most sales are made "as is" or with implied warranties only, as marked on the front of this form. Under an implied warranty, a buyer may have the right to have a seller take care of a serious problem that was not apparent at the time of sale. State law may limit implied warranty rights or the time in which a claim may be brought.
SERVICE CONTRACTS
A service contract is not the same as a warranty. A service contract may be available even on a vehicle sold "as is," and may cover certain repairs after the sale, usually for an extra charge. Ask the seller for details on coverage, deductibles, and exclusions.

ASK ABOUT VEHICLE HISTORY
Ask the seller about the vehicle's history, including any accidents, damage, or major repairs. This listing's own page shows any disclosure flags the seller marked, and its Service History section (when shown) summarizes work-order records on file.
DISCLOSURE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This vehicle may contain camera, microphone, or data recording technology that could keep records of vehicle occupants, driving data, and surroundings that may be accessible to third parties.
This vehicle "could" have previous dents, scratches, damage, or repairs considered by an attorney, jury, inspector, AI, or person to be in, on, or to a structural or frame component section of this vehicle.
This vehicle may have one or more catalytic converters, which are considered valuable and prone to theft. State law may require the selling dealer to offer the consumer the chance to have the catalytic converter(s) marked with the vehicle's VIN for an additional charge. This marking can be done for an additional fee of $250 each at the time of purchase.
As the informed buyer, I choose to Decline or Accept the additional $250-each charge to mark the catalytic converter(s).
