DealerTrades
Wholesale purchase terms
Simple terms for wholesale purchases
Version 2026-09-10. These terms explain the online reservation process. The final bill of sale records the completed transaction.
Dealer authority
The person using Buy Now confirms they are authorized to act for the approved dealership shown in DealerTrades.
Vehicle review
The buying dealer is responsible for reviewing the pitch sheet, CARFAX information, condition disclosures, photos, and available inspection documents before purchasing.
Buy Now
Buy Now reserves the vehicle at the displayed wholesale price. DealerTrades will prepare a bill of sale and contact the dealership to complete the transaction.
Offers
Submitting an offer does not reserve the vehicle. The vehicle remains available until DealerTrades accepts an offer or another dealer uses Buy Now.
Condition and arbitration
Vehicles are offered wholesale based on the information disclosed for each unit. The buying dealer is responsible for inspecting the vehicle promptly after delivery and documenting any eligible concern.
Arbitration timeline
Any arbitration request must be submitted to DealerTrades in writing within 48 hours after the vehicle is delivered to the buying dealer. Requests received after this deadline may not be eligible for review unless DealerTrades agrees otherwise in writing.
Payment terms
Payment is due in full within 72 hours after DealerTrades sends the bill of sale, unless different payment terms are agreed to in writing before the purchase is completed.
Final paperwork
Payment instructions, taxes, delivery arrangements, and any transaction-specific conditions will be confirmed in the bill of sale or directly with DealerTrades.
