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.

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.

Recommends that customers always perform a full inspection & basic servicing after the car is received to ensure comfortable and safe use.
